Learn HTML by Building a Cat Photo App - Step 39

Tell us what’s happening:

I am having trouble with Step 39 for the HTML course. The following error is showing “Your form element’s opening tag should only have an action attribute. Remove anything else you may have typed in it.“ I have not added anything to the opening tag of the form element. The error keeps appearing even if I reset. I am also unsure about how to nestle the input element.

you should not add any attributes to the input

Hi there!

The instructions only asking for an input element. Didn’t need to add anything else within that.

Thanks. I have only inserted the input element, but the same error is showing regarding the form attribute: “Your form element’s opening tag should only have an action attribute. Remove anything else you may have typed in it.“ Even though I have not typed anything in it.

Hi @AdeeA

Your code passes.
Reset the step and try again. If that doesn’t work, refresh the page, disable dark mode, disable ad blockers. Or, use another browser.
If the above steps do not work, you may need to restart the computer.

Happy coding
