 Placeholder text is what is displayed in your <code>input</code> element before your user has inputted anything.
 You can create placeholder text like so:
-<code>&#60;input type="text" placeholder="this is placeholder text"&#62;</code>
+<code>&#60;input type="text" placeholder="this is placeholder text"&#62;</code><br>
+<strong>Note:</strong> Remember that <code>input</code> elements are self-closing.
