Challenge: Use an id Attribute to Style an Element

Link to the challenge:

2

it seems you are missing a closing bracket

3

No I’m not missing anything, I’ve checked sooo many times

4

I noticed that your css is correct other than the missing closing bracket.

All you need to do is to reset the lesson and give the green background.

5

then where is the closing } for the #cat-photo-form selector?

6

What do you mean by giving green background

7

The instructions say:

Try giving your form, which now has the id attribute of cat-photo-form , a ““green background.””

I just said ,that I think there is an error in the html and to start again.

8

I have done everything, I’m still stuck at " Your form element should have an id attribute."

9

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

This is wrong try changing it to:

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

Have you tried doing your code again.

14 
Have you passed this challenge or you still need help with it ?
15

The problem lies in your form element.

The error says: Your
form element should have an id attribute.

This is because you have pressed the enter key for the attributes.

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

You have to remove the extra enter keys pressed before the action and the id attribute of the form element.

Hello @umeshbatalvi ,

Go and find your form opening tag. It should have an id attribute within.
For example: I will assign an id to my p element below.

<p id="paragraph"> some text here </p>

Do you still need help on this challenge??
19

my id attribute is within form element, it still doesn’t work

You changed the value of the action attribute.
