These are the instructions:
Your form should have an action attribute which is set to

https://www.freecatphotoapp.com/submit-cat-photo

This is the bit of your code that is failing:

<form action="/submit-cat-photo">

look carefully at both … you’ll see the problem!

.

form action=“Thank You message for Cat Photo App form submission| freeCodeCamp.org”

input type=“text” placeholder=“cat photo URL”

/form

this is the code i’m using now, but is not working.

I’ve tested your code and it’s working perfectly fine on my browser. It could be just a bug, maybe try to reset the challenge and do a hard refresh (Shift + F5), or try to disable browser extensions that could be modifying the content of the page if you have them on because they can also interfere with the tests.

It could be what was said above. I couldnt scroll down, so my first reply was wrong. I actually tried the test myself and it failed for me as well

Edit: I tried it with the same code, and this time it passed. I just had to refresh, and it worked for some reason
