Treehouse TeacherHi there Ericka Erickson !
Are you referring to this task in the quiz? "Complete the code to prevent the form's default behavior when the form submits and complete the event call in the <form> tag."?
If so, it's only asking us to prevent the form's default behavior, not access a value.
Then, below, we need to add the attribute which will fire the following code when we submit the form.
The rest of the challenges didn't quite seem to be that similar to your question you've posted. If I'm way off, please let me know and we will figure this out.
