Hey Elizabeth,

Taking a look at your code, there are three issues that will cause problems.

The first issue is that you didn't include the = sign after the name attribute in the first two input elements in your form.

The second issue is that you didn't close your form tag with a closing form tag.

The third issue is that the challenge is asking you to set the text input to read "Hello World", which can be accomplished by adding a 'value' attribute to the input element with the type text, and assigning the value of the 'value' attribute to be "Hello World".

When completed, the result will look like Ashish Mehra's provided answer.

I just wanted to add some clarification about what appeared to be wrong in your answer.

Good luck!
