Possible typo in the instruction of Cat Photo App Step 42

See original GitHub issue

Describe the Issue

At the end of the instruction, it says:

Go ahead and do this to specify where this button should submit the form.

But this step is just asking the camper to add type="submit" to the button element, and not asking them to set the destination where the form should be sent.

Your code

<button type="submit">Submit</button>

Expected behavior

The instruction should be “Go ahead and do this to specify that this button should submit the form.” or something?

Thanks everyone for your comments!

I like @moT01 's shorter the better approach, but I also thought it’s important to explain why we are doing this. So I included the “But relying on default behavior may cause confusion.” part from @bbsmooth 's comment and opened a PR.

The shorter the better

“The button you added will submit the form by default. Add the type attribute with the value submit to the button to make it clear that it is a submit button.”
