Hi,

You have a slash (/) before https?!

<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>

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 (’).

at the very end in the form part im having trouble nesting the input

Four things here:

  1. You have changed the input element
  <input type="text" placeholder="cat photo URL">

  1. You didn’t close your opening form tag

  2. You have a duplicate closing form tag

  3. Your action url has a very small typo (I recommend copy-pasting the given url)

9

This is an example of nesting:

<p>
<img id="IAmNested">
</p>

You have formatting errors.

10

so is should put the input inside the opening and closing tags for the form

11 
<form action="/url-where-you-want-to-submit-form-data">
  <input>
</form>
12 
 <form action="https://freecatphotoapp.com/submit-cat-photo"> 
  <input type="text" placeholder="cat photo url"> 
  </form>

so i got to here it still says the existing input isnt nested in the form

Yours:

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

Original:

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