Possible change to challenge explanation for create a form

Contributors

Hi everyone!

I noticed that this particular challenge gets brought up alot in the forum. People are confused about how to nest an element inside another element.

When I or someone else provides an answer similar to this

<form>
  <input>
</form>

the poster usually gets it.

Would it help to cut down on confusion to just add the code I posted above in the challenge explanation?

On one hand, yes. However, there is a specific challenge prior with this in mind:

Also: https://www.freecodecamp.org/learn/responsive-web-design/basic-html-and-html5/introduction-to-html5-elements

In order to keep the lessons as short and concise as can be, they tend not to repeat previous lesson content.

This is definitely up for discussion, but it will always be partly unresolvable. Some campers complain about the amount of hand-holding (code given to help), other campers complain about the lack of hand-holding.

That makes sense.

Thanks!

I was going to say the same thing as @Sky020.
This is the second lesson where nesting is required.
The next nesting problems that come up after this is when camper’s are required to do the radio buttons / checkboxes.
