HI @Code-expert-rookie !

It is ok.
This stumps a lot of people.
But we are here to help :grinning:

You need to reset the lesson and do the following.

First, you need to nest the input inside the form like this

<form action="/url-where-you-want-to-submit-form-data">
  <input>
</form>

Then you need to use the correct url.

FCC instructions:
Nest the existing input element inside a form element and assign "https://freecatphotoapp.com/submit-cat-photo"

i have seen this reply on others request for help in the forums. I must say it’s still foreign language. I believe there should be a video on how exactly the finished answer should be. I ultimately watched a youtube video of someone completing this task and it helped alot more than looking at the formula. thought i would share that because now i’m able to get over my frustrating emotions about this task and move on. I’m more than sure this won’t be my last frustrating task but it’s for sure my first. lol…I just want this to work for me…thank you for your help sister.

The current challenges will eventually be replaced with an all project based curriculum.

I am also a beginner (8 months in) so I understand when things get frustrating.
Just remember to take it step by step and ask for help when needed :grinning:
