Hey Michael! I tried the challenge and it worked fine :)

Here's my correct code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>HTML Mastery Challenge</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>HTML Mastery Challenge</h1>

    <!-- Write your code below -->

    <div>
      <h2>Shopping List</h2>
      <ol>
        <li>Bread</li>
        <li>Milk</li>
        <li>Eggs</li>
      </ol>
      <p><strong>Shopping</strong> is fun.</p>
      <form>
        <input type="text" value="Hello World">
        <input type="submit" value="Shoot it now!">
      </form>
    </div>


  </body>
</html>

Hope this helped you :)

Happy learning!

Hi, thank you for the assistance. I guess the system would only accept a strong tag and not a bold tag, though a both correct.

Thanks again.

Glad I could help you Michael. Here's some important advice:

According to the HTML5 specification, the <b> tag should be used as a LAST resort when no other tag is more appropriate. The HTML5 specification states that headings should be denoted with the <h1> to <h6> tags, emphasized text should be denoted with the <em> tag, important text should be denoted with the <strong> tag, and marked/highlighted text should use the <mark> tag.

Tip: You can also use the CSS font-weight property to set bold text.
