Question about the Forms quiz at the end of the HTML Deep Dive

The question is number 7 of 8, asking me to "Set the text input to contain "Hello World". Here is my code:

<!-- <!-- Write your code below --> <div> <h2>Shopping List</h2> <ol> <li></li> <li></li> <li></li> </ol> </div> <p>Sfdasdfasdf <strong>and</strong> stuff</p> <form> <input type="text"> </form> </body> </html> -->

Can someone help me figure out what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks!

The code didn't past when I did it. Let me try again: 

<!-- Write your code below -->
div>
  <h2>Shopping List</h2>
  <ol>
    <li></li>
    <li></li>
    <li></li>
  </ol>
</div>
<p>Sfdasdfasdf <strong>and</strong> stuff</p>
<form>
  <input type="text">
</form>

</body> </html

The missing bracket on the first div was deleted so that the code would show up, it isn't like that in my exercise.

What you want to do is change the value of the input to contain Hello World!, there is an input property that you can use to set that. The MDN has a list of properties for the input element. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/Input
