Step 42 is confusing

Step 42

Even though you added your button below the text input, they appear next to each other on the page. That’s because both input and button elements are inline elements, which don’t appear on new lines.

You learned previously that the button submits the form by default, but you can explicitly add the type attribute with the value submit to make it clearer. Go ahead and do this to specify where this button should submit the form.

What am I doing wrong?

its not working brother

thanks brother for helping :heart:

<button submit type=“submit”

This is the line that worked for me. I think the most important part is not having the > after button. In the line 37 above, , <input doesn’t have a >after it, so I did that.
