I know that it is written in the correct way but I think the positioning may be wrong..
<body>
<h1>First Day of School</h1>
<form>
<div>
<divclass="favorite_stuff">
<h4>Favorite Foods?</h4>
<input name="food[]">
<input name="food[]">
<input name="food[]">
<input name="food[]">
</div>
<div>
<divclass="favorite_stuff">
<h4>Favorite Animals?</h4>
<input name="animal[]">
<input name="animal[]">
<input name="animal[]">
<input name="animal[]">
</div>
</form>

You're on the right track, but there are a couple errors happening here.
- The <div> element is already there, but you are adding another one that the challenge did not ask for. The instructions specifically say to "Give both <div> elements the class of "favorite_stuff"." meaning to the two <div> tags provided. The instructions do not say to add any. (But if it did, the ones you added, you didn't close, so it would also error).
- There needs to be a space between "div" and "class" ... without the space (as it you have it now) will error as the browser thinks the tag is named <divclass>.
So, you will need to delete the two lines of HTML that you added, then add the class to the existing <div> tags. With these corrections, the task will pass.
Hope this helps.
Keep Coding! :)
