Description

You can't see it, but there is now an svg element nested in your dashboard container. When you appended it, it became the "selection" for this area of code. Any functions you chain after it will be used on this selection.

attr is a function to set attributes. You need to pass it the attribute you want to set, and the value you want to give it. Here's an example of how to chain attr to a selection:

const variableName = d3.select('element')
  .append('element')
  .attr('attribute', 'value')

Chain an attr function to the selection that sets the width as the svgWidth variable you created earlier. When using a variable as a value, you do not need to put it in any kind of quotations.

Instructions

Tests

tests:
  - text: test-text
    testString: assert($("svg")[0].attributes.width.value === "700");
