hey @mikebrechin,

This is the error you get

The existing input element should be nested within a form element.
Your form element should have well-formed open and close tags.

also this is how the input should look

 <input type="text" placeholder="cat photo URL">

Can you please gie me the exact line of code nested inside the forms

Hi Biscuitmanz
here is my code now but this still doesnt work …
…so frustrated ive been on this stupid line for an hour and a half. I dont think i can ever be a coder.

I changed it to this now, this is the code that should be inside the form, and of course you can be a coder, everybody gets stuck on problems, an hour and a half is not long for being stuck on a problem in coding especially when you first start, just give it time and things will become easier mate :slight_smile:

<form action= input type="text" placeholder="cat photo URL" action="/https://freecatphotoapp.com/submit-cat-photo" ? This is it inside the form elements but it is not working. Thankyou.

i think you are miss understanding were it says inside the from tags

<form action="http address goes here">
<!-- input goes here -->
</form>

<input type="text" placeholder="cat photo URL">

so all you do is move the input element inside the form

and remember to assign "https://freecatphotoapp.com/submit-cat-photo" to the action attribute of the form element.
