Nope, set the input to have a value not a placeholder.

Also remember our goal here is to give help not answers

You need to be a little more specific. Set the H1 text? or paragraph text?

Maybe mention where in the course you are stuck.

Hello I've the same problem with Challenge task 7 of 8 from HTML->Forms.

"Set that text input to contain "Hello World".

Bummer! Try setting the 'value' attribute on the text input."

My code looks like that

<body>
    <h1>HTML Mastery Challenge</h1>

    <!-- Write your code below -->
    <div>
      <h2>Shopping List</h2>
      <ol>
        <li>Item></li>
        <li>Item></li>
        <li>Item></li>
      </ol>
      <p><strong>Text</strong></p>
      <form>
      <input type="text" name="username">
      <input type="submit" value="Hello World">
    </form>
    </div>


  </body>
</html>

I tried also to enter this code:

<input type="text" name="Hello World" value="Hello World">

Or

<input type="text" value="Hello World">
