validating the form was quite confusing but became easier with more tries.

I tried adding color to my placeholder with JavaScript but it did not apply. I need help with a better way to do it next time

Hey Echocode1,

Really nice take on this project. Very solid code. You asked help about styling a placeholder. If I interpreted your question correctly, this is something you don't necessarily have to do with JavaScript. This is really easy with CSS-only.

You can easily style a placeholder with the ::placeholder psuedo element. For example:

::placeholder { color: green; font-weight: 700; }

Check out this resource for further expaination: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/::placeholder

Hope this helps 👍
