Did you match the "Hello World" text exactly as it says?

<form>
    <input type="text" value="Hello World">
</form>

Hi Angela.

Did the value you entered match exactly what the task requested? letter case, punctuation (or lack thereof) and all?

Hi Howard, thanks for your reply. Yes, I think so, I learnt that lesson earlier on, this time I've entered : <input type="text" name="hello_world" value="hello_world">Hello World<br> And it just keeps coming up incorrect

Can you paste your code? It's much easier for people to help if they can see what you have got.

Hi Richard thanks for your reply too. Yes I fell for that earlier on in the course and have been aware of it since.

It's good to take a break sometimes, then when you come back you see the problem straight away ;)

So true, just loving the lessons and don't want to stop, but eventually I'll have to slow down, only joined 5 days ago and got 13 badges on my HTML, but I can't work this late every night lol. Thanks again and have a good night, take care
