8,993 PointsThis is the code I used for the html form section of the website.
<form> <div class="form-group"> <label for="name">Name:</label> <input type="text" name="name"> </div> <div class="form-group"> <label for="email">Email:</label> <input type="text" name="email"> </div> <div class="form-group"> <label for="message">Message:</label> <textarea name="message"></textarea> </div> <input class="button" type="submit" value="Submit" name=""> </form>

Also, when posting code, be sure to use Markdown formatting to preserve the code's appearance. Both of these techniques are covered in the videos previously suggested.
While this doesn't affect the display, I notice the "for" attribute is used on the labels, but the inputs don't have "id"s.. This "for" attribute is only able to direct focus to the input when it matches the "id" on an input.

8,993 PointsI'm trying to create a landing page with an html form. The website isn't a treehouse project. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. What would cause the boxes for the input to show, but not the labels for the boxes like name and email? Is there an html tag I need to use? I followed a tutorial and its not working. How would I show the code I'm using that's not part of a treehouse project? thank you

But tested as shown, this code does display the labels in front of the input boxes.

231,248 PointsYou need to provide more information, like your actual code. Take a look at this video about Posting a Question, and perhaps also this one about sharing a snapshot of your workspace.
