--- id: 587d778c367417b2b2512aa9 title: Standardize Times with the HTML5 datetime Attribute challengeType: 0 videoUrl: 'https://scrimba.com/c/cmzMgtz' forumTopicId: 301025 dashedName: standardize-times-with-the-html5-datetime-attribute --- # --description-- Continuing with the date theme, HTML5 also introduced the `time` element along with a `datetime` attribute to standardize times. This is an inline element that can wrap a date or time on a page. A valid format of that date is held by the `datetime` attribute. This is the value accessed by assistive devices. It helps avoid confusion by stating a standardized version of a time, even if it's written in an informal or colloquial manner in the text. Here's an example: `

Master Camper Cat officiated the cage match between Goro and Scorpion , which ended in a draw.

` # --instructions-- Camper Cat's Mortal Kombat survey results are in! Wrap a `time` tag around the text `Thursday, September 15th` and add a `datetime` attribute to it set to `2016-09-15`. # --hints-- Your code should have a `p` element which includes the text `Thank you to everyone for responding to Master Camper Cat's survey.` and include a `time` element. ```js assert(timeElement.length); ``` Your added `time` tags should wrap around the text `Thursday, September 15th`. ```js assert( timeElement.length && $(timeElement).html().trim() === 'Thursday, September 15th' ); ``` Your added `time` tag should have a `datetime` attribute that is not empty. ```js assert(datetimeAttr && datetimeAttr.length); ``` Your added `datetime` attribute should be set to a value of `2016-09-15`. ```js assert(datetimeAttr === '2016-09-15'); ``` # --seed-- ## --after-user-code-- ```html ``` ## --seed-contents-- ```html
