Hi @rkutz0123 ,

Check the url for the action attribute.

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

but what is the solution then … ??

The correct url is given in the instruction:

"https://www.freecatphotoapp.com/submit-cat-photo"

What is exactly my mistake here ? Please help …

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

Your form should have an action attribute which is set to [https://www.freecatphotoapp.com/submit-cat-photo](https://www.freecatphotoapp.com/submit-cat-photo).

Hey @rkutz0123 ,

As I said earlier, the only problem in your code was the url, it had some extra words in it.

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

The url should just be:
"https://www.freecatphotoapp.com/submit-cat-photo"

See the difference? Removing the extra words should help it work.
