Hi, I am trying to get solve step 36 in Responsive Web Design. It asks me to add an action to the form, to where the form should be submitted. I don’t seem to get this step right. Tried below for example

OR

```auto
<form>
<form action="/https://freecatphotoapp.com/submit-cat-photo">
</form>

```

I’ve edited your code for readability. 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 (').

you have two form opening tags instead of just the one that you need.  
delete the extra one
