--- id: 587d778c367417b2b2512aa9 title: Standardize Times with the HTML5 datetime Attribute challengeType: 0 videoUrl: 'https://scrimba.com/c/cmzMgtz' forumTopicId: 301025 --- ## 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:

<p>Master Camper Cat officiated the cage match between Goro and Scorpion <time datetime="2013-02-13">last Wednesday</time>, which ended in a draw.</p>

## Instructions

Camper Cat's Mortal Kombat survey results are in! Wrap a time tag around the text "Thursday, September 15<sup>th</sup>" and add a datetime attribute to it set to "2016-09-15".

## Tests

```yml tests: - text: 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. testString: assert(timeElement.length); - text: Your added time tags should wrap around the text Thursday, September 15<sup>th</sup>. testString: assert(timeElement.length && $(timeElement).html().trim() === "Thursday, September 15^th"); - text: Your added time tag should have a datetime attribute that is not empty. testString: assert(datetimeAttr && datetimeAttr.length); - text: Your added datetime attribute should be set to a value of 2016-09-15. testString: assert(datetimeAttr === "2016-09-15"); ```
