bad87fee1348bd9aedf08830	Add Placeholder Text to a Text Field	0	https://scrimba.com/p/pVMPUv/cKdJDhg	16647	add-placeholder-text-to-a-text-field

--description--

Placeholder text is what is displayed in your input element before your user has inputted anything.

You can create placeholder text like so:

<input type="text" placeholder="this is placeholder text">

Note: Remember that input elements are self-closing.

--instructions--

Set the placeholder value of your text input to "cat photo URL".

--hints--

You should add a placeholder attribute to the existing text input element.

assert($('input[placeholder]').length > 0);

You should set the value of your placeholder attribute to cat photo URL.

assert(
  $('input') &&
    $('input').attr('placeholder') &&
    $('input')
      .attr('placeholder')
      .match(/cat\s+photo\s+URL/gi)
);

The finished input element should not have a closing tag.

assert(!code.match(/<input.*\/?>.*<\/input>/gi));

The finished input element should have valid syntax.

assert($('input[type=text]').length > 0);
