I do the same code like video why my code not working ?

Here is my code :

var $name = $('#pet-name');
var $species = $('#pet-species');
var $notes = $('#pet-notes');

var $newPet = $(
   '<section class="six columns"><div class="card"><p><strong>Name:</strong> ' + $name.val() + 
   '</p><p><strong>Species:</strong> ' + $species.val() +  
   '</p><p><strong>Notes:</strong> ' + $notes.val() + 
   '</p><span class="close">&times;</span></div></section>'  
);

$('#posted-pets').append($newPet);

Have you added the click event listener function that wraps all this? I can't see anything else, but could be wrong.

try adding .val() , this is what made it work for me.

But as the guy above me already said i can't see the rest of your code.

+ var $name = $('#pet-name');
+ var $species = $('#pet-species');
+ var $notes = $('#pet-notes');
          ```

Becomes -->


```html
+ var $name = $('#pet-name').val();
+ var $species = $('#pet-species').val();
+ var $notes = $('#pet-notes').val();
          ```
