# --description--
|
|
|
|
You can build web forms that actually submit data to a server using nothing more than pure HTML. You can do this by specifying an action on your `form` element.
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
`<form action="/url-where-you-want-to-submit-form-data"></form>`
|
|
|
|
# --instructions--
|
|
|
|
Nest the existing input element inside a `form` element and assign `"https://freecatphotoapp.com/submit-cat-photo"` to the `action` attribute of the `form` element.
|
|
|
|
# --hints--
|
|
|
|
The existing `input` element should be nested within a `form` element.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const inputElem = document.querySelector('form input');
|
|
assert(
|
|
inputElem.getAttribute('type') === 'text' &&
|
|
inputElem.getAttribute('placeholder') === 'cat photo URL'
|
|
);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Your `form` should have an `action` attribute which is set to `https://freecatphotoapp.com/submit-cat-photo`
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert(
|
|
$('form').attr('action') === 'https://freecatphotoapp.com/submit-cat-photo'
|
|
);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Your `form` element should have well-formed open and close tags.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert(
|
|
code.match(/<\/form>/g) &&
|
|
code.match(/<form [^<]*>/g) &&
|
|
code.match(/<\/form>/g).length === code.match(/<form [^<]*>/g).length
|
|
);
|
|
```
|
|
