bad87fee1348bd9aedd08830	Add a Submit Button to a Form	0	https://scrimba.com/p/pVMPUv/cp2Nkhz	16627

Description

Let's add a submit button to your form. Clicking this button will send the data from your form to the URL you specified with your form's action attribute. Here's an example submit button: <button type="submit">this button submits the form</button>

Instructions

Add a button as the last element of your form element with a type of submit, and "Submit" as its text.

Tests

tests:
  - text: Your form should have a button inside it.
    testString: assert($("form").children("button").length > 0);
  - text: Your submit button should have the attribute <code>type</code> set to <code>submit</code>.
    testString: assert($("button").attr("type") === "submit");
  - text: Your submit button should only have the text <code>Submit</code>.
    testString: assert($("button").text().match(/^\s*submit\s*$/gi));
  - text: Your <code>button</code> element should have a closing tag.
    testString: assert(code.match(/<\/button>/g) && code.match(/<button/g) && code.match(/<\/button>/g).length === code.match(/<button/g).length);
