--description--

There are many kinds of inputs you can create using the type attribute. You can easily create a password field, reset button, or a control to let users select a file from their computer.

Create a text field to get text input from a user by adding the type attribute with the value text to the input element.

--hints--

You have either deleted your input element or it has invalid syntax. If you have added attributes, make sure their values are surrounded by quotation marks.

js
assert(document.querySelectorAll('input').length);

Your form element should only contain the input element. Remove any extra HTML elements or text between the form element's tags.

js
assert.isTrue(
  document.querySelector('form')?.children?.length === 1 &&
    document.querySelector('form')?.innerText?.trim()?.length === 0
);

Your input element does not have a type attribute with the value text. Check that there is a space after the opening tag's name and/or there are spaces before all attribute names.

js
assert.isTrue(document.querySelector('input')?.hasAttribute('type'));

Your input element should have a type attribute with the value text. You have either omitted the value or have a typo. Remember that attribute values should be surrounded with quotation marks.

js
assert.match(
  document.querySelector('input')?.getAttribute('type').replace(/\s+/g, ' '),
  /^text$/i
);

Although you have set the input element's type attribute to the text, it is recommended to always surround the value of an attribute with quotation marks.

js
assert(!/\<input\s+type\s*=\s*text/.test(code));
