# --description--
|
|
|
|
Placeholder text is what is displayed in your `input` element before your user has inputted anything.
|
|
|
|
You can create placeholder text like so:
|
|
|
|
```html
|
|
<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.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert($('input[placeholder]').length > 0);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You should set the value of your `placeholder` attribute to `cat photo URL`.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert(
|
|
$('input') &&
|
|
$('input').attr('placeholder') &&
|
|
$('input')
|
|
.attr('placeholder')
|
|
.match(/cat\s+photo\s+URL/gi)
|
|
);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The finished `input` element should not have a closing tag.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert(!code.match(/<input.*\/?>.*<\/input>/gi));
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The finished `input` element should have valid syntax.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
assert($('input[type=text]').length > 0);
|
|
```
