Can anyone please help?

Challenge 7 of 8

Set that text input to contain "Hello World".

       <form>
        <input type="text" name="username" id="username">
      </form>

This is what I keep getting...

"Bummer! Try setting the 'value' attribute on the text input."

I'm stuck

Hi Manuel. Inside your <input> tag try including value="Hello World" like this: <input type="text" value="Hello World">

The value attribute sets the text inside the input field.

It worked! Thank you both very much. :)
