The task is to add a text input to a form. The task prior to this one was to add a form tag, which was done correctly; so I know the problem isn't the form tag. I'm not sure what is wrong with my text input. Can someone check this?

<input type=“text” name=“username”>
</form>

Courses Plus Student 46,022 PointsOkay, I think it might be a quirk with the challenge. I don't think it wants the name attribute you have, just the type="text" part. This should pass the rest of the challenge:
<form>
<input type="text" value="Hello World">
</form>
Happy coding!

<form action="">
<input type="text">
</form>

I tried this first, but it was wrong.
<form action=""> <input type="text" value="Hello World"> </form>
Not sure why, but this was correct. Thank you.
