31,603 PointsHey,
could you please post your code so I can see where the mistake might be? :)
To set the value of an input to a text you have to set the value attribute of the input to this text. Also take care that you write the W in "World" in uppercase.
Like so:
<input type="text" value="Hello World">
I hope that helps you to solve the challenge, good luck! :)

6,054 Pointsi have posted the whole code again have you got it
Tobias Helmrich
31,603 PointsYes, I've got it. I'm sorry, I thought that wasn't the whole code. However take care that you format your code correctly because your code stops after the ordered list. :) About which task are you talking about in particular?
Tobias Helmrich
31,603 PointsAh, now it's properly formatted, alright! Have you tried removing the first input element? I think the challenge only wants you to have one input element.
Try removing this:
<input type="text" name="Mark">
so you just have this input element
<input type="text" name="message" value="Hello World">
in your code.
