I need help with this problem

**Tell us what’s happening: It says my input is not nested within my form. What am I doing wrong?

  **Your code so far**

<h2>CatPhotoApp</h2>
<main>
<p>Click here to view more <a href="#">cat photos</a>.</p>

<a href="#"><img src="https://bit.ly/fcc-relaxing-cat" alt="A cute orange cat lying on its back."></a>

<p>Things cats love:</p>
<ul>
  <li>cat nip</li>
  <li>laser pointers</li>
  <li>lasagna</li>
</ul>
<p>Top 3 things cats hate:</p>
<ol>
  <li>flea treatment</li>
  <li>thunder</li>
  <li>other cats</li>
</ol>
<form action="https://freecatphotoapp.com/submit-cat-photo">
  <input>
</form>
</main>

@bshroats5

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

The instructions say:

Nest the existing input element…

You didn’t use the existing one - you created a new one. Start over (press “Reset All Code”) and start again. You’re form element is correct and the nesting is correct, you just have the wrong input element.

When I fix that, your code passes for me.

So I changed it to this and it says it is not nested and my form is not opened or closed.

<form action="https://freecatphotoapp.com/submit-cat-photo"
  <input type="text" placeholder="cat photo URL">
</form>

I’ve edited your post 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.

See this post to find the backtick on your keyboard.
Note: Backticks (`) are not single quotes (’).

You are missing a > at the end of the first line there, to close out the opening form tag.

If I add that, your code passes for me.

Thank you very much Kevin!
