Probably a simple fix

Tell us what’s happening:
I have entered the text " cat photo URL" as the value for the place holder field however, it still says that this is wrong. I have tried copy pasting, adding extra spaces, removing spaces incase my formating or case was the issue, but none of them worked. Sorry if this is a silly mistake, but I have no idea what is wrong here.
Your code so far

Your code passes for me. Try a different browser or if using Chrome dark theme may be interfering or maybe browser extensions.

It passed for me too. When this sort of thing happens to me, I log out, and log back in.

I just tried it using chrome and it worked perfectly. Thanks. I was using firefox nightly earlier and it gave me similar issues with a few challenges which I skipped. I could finally complete all of them! Thanks

That’s good to know! :slight_smile:

switching the browser worked for me, but I will try logging out and in again next time. Thanks!
