Cant figure out please help

[landtime555]

I have tried to figure it out for the past like hour with no avail, I’ve searched the forum and everything i was lead to dead ends, very frustrated. it told me to do this-

Nest the existing input element inside a form element and assign "https://freecatphotoapp.com/submit-cat-photo" to the action attribute of the form element.

  **My code so far**

<form action="/submit-cat-photo"> <input type="text" placeholder="cat photo URL" /> </form>
  
</main>

What is your full code? This seems to be just a little bit of it.

---

When you enter a code block into a forum post, please precede it with a separate line of three backticks and follow it with a separate line of three backticks to make it easier to read.

You can also use the “preformatted text” tool in the editor (</>) to add backticks around text.

See this post to find the backtick on your keyboard.
Note: Backticks (`) are not single quotes (’).

At a glance, it looks like you may have not

assign "https://freecatphotoapp.com/submit-cat-photo" to the action

and you may have changed the original input element, but it’s hard to be sure with partial code.

sorry took me awhile to figure it out

[JeremyLT]

@landtime555

form action="/submit-cat-photo">

Ok, this form is missing a < and has the wrong action.

@landtime555

<input type="text" placeholder="cat photo URL" />

And right here you changed the original input when you shouldn’t have.

[landtime555]

OK so the missing < was after i copied and pasted, and im not sure how to fix the rest of the code

[JeremyLT]

Well, did you

assign "https://freecatphotoapp.com/submit-cat-photo" to the action attribute

[landtime555]

wow that was… so easy to fix. Thank you for helping me, I’m kinda dumb

[JeremyLT]

It’s those small things that trip us all up.
