- Fill in the required details in the form.

Screen Recording
Actual Results
The text "Thanks!" visually appears as a heading on the page. However, it is not implemented using a semantic HTML heading element (e.g., <h1>–<h6>). As a result, screen reader users navigating the page cannot identify it as a heading, making it difficult to understand the page’s structure and content hierarchy.
Expected Results
Screen readers should be able to identify the text as a heading for their users.
Mark up the mentioned text using the appropriate HTML heading element. In addition, ensure that heading levels follow the proper hierarchy (e.g., <h1> followed by <h2>, <h3>, and so on).
In this case, mark up the "Thanks!" text using the <h1> element.
Code Snippet:
<h1>Thanks!</h1>
