You didn't copy it correctly. See below.

Because you'll only see a difference if your submission has something in
it that needs to be escaped. For example ' " will have slashes added to
them.

That needs to be a " not a ' -------^
Also, notice there's no value attribute, so that's why you found in your
other script that this field gets cleared out all the time.

By the way, allow me to point something out that doesn't have anything to
do with your script not working, but may come in helpful in the future.
You mean "value" not "name." Name is what the name of the variable
becomes. Value is the data that the variable holds and what's visible
when you look at the form in your web browser. I suspect the button is
supposed to say "Convert to Celsius!" in it rather than the default
"Submit Query."
