--description--

In order for a form's data to be accessed by the location specified in the action attribute, you must give the text field a name attribute and assign it a value to represent the data being submitted.

Here is an example of an input element with a name attribute:

html
<input type="text" name="name">

Add the name attribute with the value catphotourl to your text field.

--hints--

You have either deleted your input element or it has invalid syntax. All attributes' values should be surrounded by quotation marks.

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

Your form should only contain the input element. Remove any additional HTML elements or text within the form element.

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

Your input element does not have a name attribute. 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('name'));

Your input element should have a name attribute with the value catphotourl. 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('name'),
  /^catphotourl$/i
);

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

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