Did you look at the example code?

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

```

You need that same structure just with the `input` element you are given in the starting code and with the `action` set to the URL that is asked for.

Post your code, please.

* * *

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.

 ![Pre-formatted-text](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/freecodecamp/original/3X/1/b/1b18854f1059217f29370444396145cc3a0cd8ae.gif)

See [this post](https://forum.freecodecamp.org/t/forum-code-formatting/25574) to find the backtick on your keyboard.  
**Note:** Backticks (`) are not single quotes (’).

please.
