*I am missing something very simple here, but can’t get my beginner brain to figure it out. The error I have recieved when running my code is “The existing input element should be nested within a form element.”

  **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://www.bit.ly/fcc-relaxing-cat" alt="A cute orange cat lying on its back."></a>

<p>Things cats love:</p>

Challenge: Create a Form Element

The failing test says:

The existing input element should be nested within a form element.

And “existing” is the operative word there. You have

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

but the existing input element was:

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

It sees that that element has changed and the test fails - you weren’t supposed to change it.

When I fix that, your code passes for me.

Follow instructions closely. This is an important skill for a developer.
