field, which can be used to create several different form controls. The type
attribute on this element indicates what kind of input will be created.
You may have noticed the text
and submit
input types in prior challenges, and HTML5 introduced an option to specify a date
field. Depending on browser support, a date picker shows up in the input
field when it's in focus, which makes filling in a form easier for all users.
For older browsers, the type will default to text
, so it helps to show users the expected date format in the label or as placeholder text just in case.
Here's an example:
<label for="input1">Enter a date:</label>
<input type="date" id="input1" name="input1">

input
tag for the date selector field.
testString: assert($('input').length == 2, 'Your code should add one input
tag for the date selector field.');
- text: Your input
tag should have a type
attribute with a value of date.
testString: assert($('input').attr('type') == 'date', 'Your input
tag should have a type
attribute with a value of date.');
- text: Your input
tag should have an id
attribute with a value of pickdate.
testString: assert($('input').attr('id') == 'pickdate', 'Your input
tag should have an id
attribute with a value of pickdate.');
- text: Your input
tag should have a name
attribute with a value of date.
testString: assert($('input').attr('name') == 'date', 'Your input
tag should have a name
attribute with a value of date.');
