# --description--

You can add the `fa-paper-plane` Font Awesome icon by adding `<i class="fa fa-paper-plane"></i>` within your submit `button` element.

Give your form's text input field a class of `form-control`. Give your form's submit button the classes `btn btn-primary`. Also give this button the Font Awesome icon of `fa-paper-plane`.

All textual `<input>`, `<textarea>`, and `<select>` elements with the class `.form-control` have a width of 100%.

# --hints--

The submit button in your form should have the classes `btn btn-primary`.

```js
assert($('button[type="submit"]').hasClass('btn btn-primary'));
```

You should add a `<i class="fa fa-paper-plane"></i>` within your submit `button` element.

```js
assert($('button[type="submit"]:has(i.fa.fa-paper-plane)').length > 0);
```

The text `input` in your form should have the class `form-control`.

```js
assert($('input[type="text"]').hasClass('form-control'));
```

Each of your `i` elements should have a closing tag.

```js
assert(code.match(/<\/i>/g) && code.match(/<\/i/g).length > 3);
```
