submit button not showing

Just finished the tutorial on inputs and instead of a submit button I get a blank field with "continue" with two funny looking symbols on either side. below is my code. ideas?

<!doctype html>

<html lang=“en”>

<head>
    <meta charset=“utf-8”>
    <title>My PAGE</title>
</head>
<body>
    <form action="#" method="POST" name="my_form">

        <input type=“submit” value=“continue”>

    </form>
</body>

</html>

hey matthew, take a look at the double quotes around submit and continue

do you notice they look different from the one's you used in the form method line? try use the exact same as in the form line and the input button will be displayed fine. hope that helps ;)

Hey Matthew,

So I first took your code and instead of setting the type to "submit", I changed it to button (without any quotation marks around it. Also, if you want to remove the quotation marks around "continue", just take the quotes off from the word "continue" when setting it as your value. Apparently they don't need them. Whether this is the standard way to do it I'm not sure but if you want to try a quick fix, this should work.

Hope that this helped!
