Challenge: Add a Submit Button to a Form

Link to the challenge:

2

So the form has a little extra text at the end of its opening tag, and there’s the beginning of another button tag after the form. Both those things will cause problems.

3

this is issue, always html tags should be close < > each others.

Use below text to print Button
<button type="submit" > submit <button>

4

It is broken HTML, to be sure - but there’s already a submit button two lines above that one. The submit button outside the form shouldn’t even be there.

5

well i think the button tag wont perform any action until an <a> tag is added.
In your code the tag would be like
<input type="submit" name="submit">

@snowmonkey’s first response is correct.

  • this is early on in the curriculum, the goal is only to CREATE a button, not make it function.
