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 your text field inside a form element, and add the action="/submit-cat-photo" attribute to the form element.

Tests

tests:
  - text: Nest your text input element within a <code>form</code> element.
    testString: 'assert($("form") && $("form").children("input") && $("form").children("input").length > 0, ''Nest your text input element within a <code>form</code> element.'');'
  - text: Make sure your <code>form</code> has an <code>action</code> attribute which is set to <code>/submit-cat-photo</code>
    testString: 'assert($("form").attr("action") === "/submit-cat-photo", ''Make sure your <code>form</code> has an <code>action</code> attribute which is set to <code>/submit-cat-photo</code>'');'
  - text: Make sure your <code>form</code> element has 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, ''Make sure your <code>form</code> element has well-formed open and close tags.'');'
