Build a Job Application Form - Build a Job Application Form Step 8

Tell us what’s happening:

I keep getting an error message that I should have textarea element with the id message for entering a message. I have it! Did I do something wrong? I have tried this three times, going on four and I don’t want to keep going without figuring out what I did wrong. I need a hint to get me in the right direction please. Thank you.

Hi @admagee63

Shouldn’t the textarea element go in the form element?

Happy coding

Thank you! I believe that was my issue. I redid the entire code and found a couple other mistakes as well.
