I’ve edited your post for readability. When you enter a code block into the forum, precede it with a line of three backticks and follow it with a line of three backticks to make easier to read. See this post to find the backtick on your keyboard. The “preformatted text” tool in the editor (</>) will also add backticks around text.

It does not appear you have added any new code to the existing challenge code. Do you understand what text field the challenge instructions are referring? If not, you might want to review a previous challenge on text fields (see below).

https://www.freecodecamp.org/challenges/create-a-text-field

Once you know what a text field is, then you should use the one in the existing code and nest it into a form element (which you will need to create) and then give the form element an action attribute and set it equal to “/submit-cat-photo”. It is that simple.
