Hello @Aman215.
The reason you are failing the challenge is because you have an incorrect url set in the action attribute.

Notice the forward-slash ‘/’ before https:// in the URL. That is unnecessary.

Happy Coding!

Thanks dude it worked. But while I was learning it said you have to have a slash before the URL.

That is for relative URLs only. For absolute URLs (the one’s that start with https://) doesn’t need the first forward slash.

More info about absolute and relative paths:

Happy Coding!
