--description--

In your span element, create a label element for an entry-dropdown and give it the text Add food or exercise:. Then create a select element with the id set to entry-dropdown and a name set to options. Below that, add a button element with the id set to add-entry and the text Add Entry.

Give your button element a type attribute set to button to prevent automatic form submission.

--hints--

You should add a label element to your span element.

js
assert.exists(document.querySelector('.controls > span > label'));

Your new label element should have a for attribute set to entry-dropdown.

js
assert.equal(document.querySelector('.controls > span > label')?.getAttribute('for'), 'entry-dropdown');

Your new label element should have the text Add food or exercise:.

js
assert.equal(document.querySelector('.controls > span > label')?.innerText, 'Add food or exercise:');

You should add a select element to your span element.

js
assert.exists(document.querySelector('.controls > span > select'));

Your select element should come after your label element.

js
assert(document.querySelector('.controls > span > select')?.previousElementSibling?.tagName === 'LABEL');

Your new select element should have an id attribute set to entry-dropdown.

js
assert.equal(document.querySelector('.controls > span > select')?.getAttribute('id'), 'entry-dropdown');

Your new select element should have a name attribute set to options.

js
assert.equal(document.querySelector('.controls > span > select')?.getAttribute('name'), 'options');

Your select element should be empty and have a closing </select> tag.

js
assert.equal(document.querySelector('.controls > span > select')?.innerHTML?.trim(), '');

You should add a button element to your span element.

js
assert.exists(document.querySelector('.controls > span > button'));

Your button element should come after your select element.

js
assert(document.querySelector('.controls > span > button')?.previousElementSibling?.tagName === 'SELECT');

Your new button element should have an id attribute set to add-entry.

js
assert.equal(document.querySelector('.controls > span > button')?.getAttribute('id'), 'add-entry');

Your new button element should have the text Add Entry.

js
assert.equal(document.querySelector('.controls > span > button')?.innerText, 'Add Entry');
