Task 7 is no longer passing - what is wrong with my code?

I'm trying to add a button to my code after I passed the 7th step of the challenge but after I add it, I can't get pass the 8th step. This is my code. Thx.

 <div>
      <h2>Shopping List</h2>

      <ol>
        <li></li>
         <li></li>
         <li></li>
      </ol>

      <p>This <strong>is</strong> some code.</p>

      <form>
       <input type="text" value="Hello world">
       <input type="button" value="Submit">

      </form>
    </div>

The issue is that task 7 specifically wants the value to be set to "Hello World" (With both words starting with a capital letter). Since "World" is not capitalized in your code it does not accept it. Code challenges tend to be very picky about capitalization.

Your code for task 8 is not quite correct either though. There is a input type called submit which is explicitly designed to create a submit button which is what the task is looking for.

I literally realized this few second ago. The capital W was to blame. I already corrected the type="submit" bit. Thank you.

No. I already tried that.

This is the complete code after I changed it based on what others said on the forum (I should use type="submit" and not type="button"):

<form>
       <input type="text" name="Hello world" value="Hello world">
       <input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit">

      </form>

Still the same error: "Oops! It looks like Task 7 is no longer passing.". Very frustrating.
