## Description
< section id = 'description' >
In addition to classes, each HTML element can also have an < code > id< / code > attribute.
There are several benefits to using < code > id< / code > attributes: You can use an < code > id< / code > to style a single element and later you'll learn that you can use them to select and modify specific elements with JavaScript.
< code > id< / code > attributes should be unique. Browsers won't enforce this, but it is a widely agreed upon best practice. So please don't give more than one element the same < code > id< / code > attribute.
Here's an example of how you give your < code > h2< / code > element the id of < code > cat-photo-app< / code > :
< code > < h2 id="cat-photo-app">< / code >
< / section >
## Instructions
< section id = 'instructions' >
Give your < code > form< / code > element the id < code > cat-photo-form< / code > .
< / section >
## Tests
< section id = 'tests' >
```yml
2018-10-04 13:37:37 +00:00
tests:
- text: Give your < code > form</ code > element the id of < code > cat-photo-form</ code > .
2018-10-20 18:02:47 +00:00
testString: assert($("form").attr("id") === "cat-photo-form", 'Give your < code > form< / code > element the id of < code > cat-photo-form< / code > .');
