Form action doesn't work

HTML-CSS

Good work getting there!

Example:

<form action="/url-where-you-want-to-submit-form-data">
  <input>
</form>

Instructions:

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

Given code:

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

Final code:

<form action="https://www.freecatphotoapp.com/submit-cat-photo">
  <input type="text" placeholder="cat photo URL">
</form>

I’m not sure how make those instructions clearer, but if you have any ideas, I’m all ears. It looks like straight line copy-paste of instructions into the example to me, but I’ve been writing code for a while.

If this helps - my logic was - you need to open a form before you can add an action - hence the extra line. Then there was that pesky “input” line in the example. Those were my two biggest issues that led me to try a multitude of variations. Hope this helps. Thanks again.

The input in the example was showing where the existing input goes though? And there wasn’t a lone <form> in the example?

Anyways, you got there in the end.
