--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 attribute on your form element.

For example:

<form action="/url-where-you-want-to-submit-form-data">
  <input>
</form>

--instructions--

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

--hints--

The existing input element should be nested within a form element.

const inputElem = document.querySelector('form input');
assert(
  inputElem.getAttribute('type') === 'text' &&
    inputElem.getAttribute('placeholder') === 'cat photo URL'
);

Your form should have an action attribute which is set to https://www.freecatphotoapp.com/submit-cat-photo.

const action = $('form').attr('action');
assert(action.match(/^https:\/\/(www\.)?freecatphotoapp\.com\/submit-cat-photo$/i))

Your form element should have well-formed open and close tags.

assert(
  code.match(/<\/form>/g) &&
    code.match(/<form [^<]*>/g) &&
    code.match(/<\/form>/g).length === code.match(/<form [^<]*>/g).length
);
