Please describe how to reproduce this issue, and include links to screenshots if possible.

My code:

<link href="http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lobster" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<style>
  .red-text {
    color: red;
  }

  h2 {
    font-family: Lobster, Monospace;
  }

  p {
    font-size: 16px;
    font-family: Monospace;
  }

  .thick-green-border {
    border-color: green;
    border-width: 10px;
    border-style: solid;
    border-radius: 50%;
  }

  .smaller-image {
    width: 100px;
  }
</style>

<h2 class="red-text">CatPhotoApp</h2>

<p>Click here for <a href="#">cat photos</a>.</p>

<a href="#"><img class="smaller-image thick-green-border" alt="A cute orange cat lying on its back" src="https://bit.ly/fcc-relaxing-cat"></a>

<input placeholder="cat photo URL" type="text">

<p>Things cats love:</p>
<ul>
  <li>cat nip</li>
  <li>laser pointers</li>
  <li>lasagna</li>
</ul>
<p>Top 3 things cats hate:</p>
<ol>
  <li>flea treatment</li>
  <li>thunder</li>
  <li>other cats</li>
</ol>

The main problem is this:

this does not work:

<input placeholder="cat photo URL" type="text">

this does:

<input type="text" placeholder="cat photo URL">

Both are perfectly valid html form what I understand.

Also I find it interesting that there's no talk of putting a " />" at the end.

Looks like this regex is too particular about attribute order!

If you tell me where the code is I could probably easily fix it.

Sorry didn't mean to close it

@justgage The code's in freecodecamp\seed\challenges\01-front-end-development-certification\html5-and-css.json on line 1867.

Also I find it interesting that there's no talk of putting a " />" at the end.

The <input> is an void tag. It doesn't require an end tag.

@jmmarco thanks for the reference. I learned something.

Would changing the regular expression from

/URL\\s*[\"\\']\\s*\\/?>/gi
to
/\\s*[\"\\']\\s*\\/?>/gi

be a valid fix? Or is this too lenient?

@justgage are you still working on a fix for this? If not, I can put a fix in.

@paycoguy go ahead, I've been busy with school as of late
