# --description--
|
|
|
|
Forms often include the `input` field, which can be used to create several different form controls. The `type` attribute on this element indicates what kind of `input` element 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 `placeholder` text just in case.
|
|
|
|
Here's an example:
|
|
|
|
```html
|
|
<label for="input1">Enter a date:</label>
|
|
<input type="date" id="input1" name="input1">
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
# --instructions--
|
|
|
|
Camper Cat is setting up a Mortal Kombat tournament and wants to ask his competitors to see what date works best. Add an `input` tag with a `type` attribute of `date`, an `id` attribute of `pickdate`, and a `name` attribute of `date`.
|
|
|
|
# --hints--
|
|
|
|
Your code should add one `input` tag for the date selector field.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert($('input').length == 2);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Your `input` tag should have a `type` attribute with a value of `date`.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert($('input').attr('type') == 'date');
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Your `input` tag should have an `id` attribute with a value of `pickdate`.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert($('input').attr('id') == 'pickdate');
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Your `input` tag should have a `name` attribute with a value of `date`.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert($('input').attr('name') == 'date');
|
|
```
