How does this work?

Saw this on the project example. The /> part.

<input type="email" id="email" placeholder="placeholder text"/>
<input type="submit" id="submit" class="btn"></input>

Does this work if the same tags are together?

not sure need the REST OF THE CODE, BUT, I think -

This is terminated and not going to do much I think:

this will put a blank button on the page with “submit” available for calls

Ah sorry here it is http://codepen.io/freeCodeCamp/pen/RKRbwL at the hero part.

okay, now that we have some context, it makes more sense -
it’s part of the form tags so it will function if there’s an email server and the appropriate code to process/validate the form. It looks like there’s no scripting to process this, so it is not functional at the moment.

Check here http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_form_input_types.asp for more info on forms and scripting needed.

  <form id="form" action="https://www.freecodecamp.com/email-submit">
    <input name="email" id="email" type="email" placeholder="Enter your email address" required/>
    <input id="submit" type="submit" value="Get Started" class="btn"></input>
  </form>

BTW, my console shows a BOATLOAD of errors when that loads -
