--description--

One cool thing about id attributes is that, like classes, you can style them using CSS.

However, an id is not reusable and should only be applied to one element. An id also has a higher specificity (importance) than a class so if both are applied to the same element and have conflicting styles, the styles of the id will be applied.

Here's an example of how you can take your element with the id attribute of cat-photo-element and give it the background color of green. In your style element:

#cat-photo-element {
  background-color: green;
}

Note that inside your style element, you always reference classes by putting a . in front of their names. You always reference ids by putting a # in front of their names.

--instructions--

Try giving your form, which now has the id attribute of cat-photo-form, a green background.

--hints--

Your form element should have the id of cat-photo-form.

assert($('form').attr('id') === 'cat-photo-form');

Your form element should have the background-color of green.

assert($('#cat-photo-form').css('background-color') === 'rgb(0, 128, 0)');

Your form element should have an id attribute.

assert(
  code.match(/<form.*cat-photo-form.*>/gi) &&
    code.match(/<form.*cat-photo-form.*>/gi).length > 0
);

You should not give your form any class or style attributes.

assert(!code.match(/<form.*style.*>/gi) && !code.match(/<form.*class.*>/gi));
