Describe your issue in detail here.
Please someone to help me here. I have spent two days going ove this and I believe there is something I don’t understand or the system is wrong… the error messages are 1. Your form element should have the background-color of green; 2. Your form element should have an id attribute. Meanwhile the instructions say You should not give your form any class or style attribute. How so?

What I’m noticing is that you have just copied the id from the example. That id is different from the id on your form.

I still don’t understand where to go.
The whole thing is now so confused. What happens if I reset?
