Hi,

You have to include the entire URL in your form element.

Hi @mayor101!

As mentioned you need to use the correct url for the action attribute. You have also edited the input and there are some typos.

You might need to reset the lesson and don’t edit the information in the input tag and use the correct url.

Hope that helps!

Thanks. There is video to every other task i dont why there is none for this task. i dont seems to understand where to input the code. Been on it for hours now, trying to use different means to get it done still no headway yet.

I know FCC is transitioning into the new format of only projects so maybe they are phasing out the videos. Not sure though.

You nested the input in the form correctly. However, you used the wrong url address and have some typos in the input.

<form action="use correct url address">
  <input type="text" placeholder="cat photo URL"> <!--this was the input from original. Do Not change this-->
</form>

Hope that helps!
