Add a submit button to your form - HTML deep dives

Hi, i´m in the last code in the code challenge of the HTML deep dives, but i´m stuck. They want me to: "Add a submit button to your form"

Here is my code:

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

<!-- Write your code below -->
<div>Test
  <h2>Shopping List</h2>
  <ol>
  <li>Item1</li>
  <li>Item2</li>
  <li>Item3</li>
  </ol>
  <p> 
    <strong>Text in it</strong>
  </p>
</div>
<form>
<input type="text" name="Hello World" value="Hello World"><br>
  <input type="button" name="input" value="submit">

</form>

</body> </html>

What is wrong? I guess it must be really simple, but i just don´t get it. Thx for your answers.

Glad it worked. :)

Greeting from Egypt :P

The thing though is that if you make a type = button it's treated as a button.

But a submit button is slightly different as it's considered as a special type of buttons and thus you should use type="submit"

Thanks for your explaination. The problem was, the button things were not in the video prior to the test.

P.S.: I will be in Egypt in 2 weeks :D
