## Description
<section id='description'>
Forms commonly use <code>checkboxes</code> for questions that may have more than one answer.
Checkboxes are a type of <code>input</code>.
Each of your checkboxes can be nested within its own <code>label</code> element. By wrapping an <code>input</code> element inside of a <code>label</code> element it will automatically associate the checkbox input with the label element surrounding it.
All related checkbox inputs should have the same <code>name</code> attribute.
It is considered best practice to explicitly define the relationship between a checkbox <code>input</code> and its corresponding <code>label</code> by setting the <code>for</code> attribute on the <code>label</code> element to match the <code>id</code> attribute of the associated <code>input</code> element.
Here's an example of a checkbox:
<code>&#60;label for="loving"&#62;&#60;input id="loving" type="checkbox" name="personality"&#62; Loving&#60;/label&#62;</code>

## Instructions

tests:
  - text: Your page should have three checkbox elements.
    testString: assert($('input[type="checkbox"]').length > 2, 'Your page should have three checkbox elements.');
  - text: Each of your three checkbox elements should be nested in its own <code>label</code> element.
    testString: assert($('label > input[type="checkbox"]:only-child').length > 2, 'Each of your three checkbox elements should be nested in its own <code>label</code> element.');
  - text: Make sure each of your <code>label</code> elements has a closing tag.
    testString: assert(code.match(/<\/label>/g) && code.match(/<label/g) && code.match(/<\/label>/g).length === code.match(/<label/g).length, 'Make sure each of your <code>label</code> elements has a closing tag.');
  - text: Give your checkboxes the <code>name</code> attribute of <code>personality</code>.
    testString: assert($('label > input[type="checkbox"]').filter('[name="personality"]').length > 2, 'Give your checkboxes the <code>name</code> attribute of <code>personality</code>.');
  - text: Each of your checkboxes should be added within the <code>form</code> tag.
    testString: assert($('label').parent().get(0).tagName.match('FORM'), 'Each of your checkboxes should be added within the <code>form</code> tag.');
