Build a Survey Form - Build a Survey Form

HTML-CSS

Tell us what’s happening:

I’m seeing a strange request that has never been addressed in the course up to this point. It keeps asking for #title, #description, #name, #email… What is the “#” for and what does it mean?

Your code so far

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8" />
    <title>Survey Form</title>
    <h1 id="title">Title</h1>
    <p id="description">Description</p>
    <form id="survey-form">Survey Form</form>
    <input 
      type="text"
      
  </head>

  <body></body>
</html>

I couldn’t remember which CSS selector that was off the top of my head so I put CSS "#" into a search engine and this looks like a promising result.

Ok, but we aren’t using CSS. This is html only.

Now, I’ve finished the challenge and got it 100%, but I have no idea why because of all the #’s used. I don’t know what that meant. It seems to be a representation of something regarding the id. I’ve never understood, in any coding class I’ve tried, why they ask you to solve for something that has never been explained.

Did you look at the link I gave you? The # there is talking about id attributes. That link says what all the #s mean.

I don’t know where this is in the new reorganized curriculum. Previously this project was after the introduction to CSS.
