  },
  function() {
    $(this).html("<strong>Location:</strong> Treehouse Adoption Center");

$('#add-pet').on('click', function(){
// Grab info from the form

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

// Assemble the HTML of our new element with the above variables

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() +

I'd need to see the HTML also to be more specific but potential issues are:

  • you may need to prevent the default form action or a page reload will clear the added elements
  • I'd guess "$("posted-pets")" probably refers to an ID and should have "#" in front

I checked the $("posted-pets") and found that it was a class, so I added a dot to be $(".posted-pets") and it works ^_^, thanks a million :)
