bad87fee1348bd9aede08830	Create a Form Element	0	16817

Description

You can build web forms that actually submit data to a server using nothing more than pure HTML. You can do this by specifying an action on your form element. For example: <form action="/url-where-you-want-to-submit-form-data"></form>

Instructions

Nest the existing input element inside a form element and assign "https://freecatphotoapp.com/submit-cat-photo" to the action attribute of the form element.

Tests

tests:
  - text: The existing <code>input</code> element should be nested within a <code>form</code> element.
    testString: const inputElem = document.querySelector('form input'); assert(inputElem.getAttribute('type') === 'text' && inputElem.getAttribute('placeholder') === 'cat photo URL');
  - text: Your <code>form</code> should have an <code>action</code> attribute which is set to <code>https://freecatphotoapp.com/submit-cat-photo</code>
    testString: assert($("form").attr("action") === "https://freecatphotoapp.com/submit-cat-photo");
  - text: Your <code>form</code> element should have well-formed open and close tags.
    testString: assert(code.match(/<\/form>/g) && code.match(/<form [^<]*>/g) && code.match(/<\/form>/g).length === code.match(/<form [^<]*>/g).length);
