--description--

Let's add a submit button to your form. Clicking this button will send the data from your form to the URL you specified with your form's action attribute.

Here's an example submit button:

<button type="submit">this button submits the form</button>

--instructions--

Add a button as the last element of your form element with a type of submit, and Submit as its text.

--hints--

Your form should have a button inside it.

assert($('form').children('button').length > 0);

Your submit button should have the attribute type set to submit.

assert($('button').attr('type') === 'submit');

Your submit button should only have the text Submit.

assert(
  $('button')
    .text()
    .match(/^\s*submit\s*$/gi)
);

Your button element should have a closing tag.

assert(
  code.match(/<\/button>/g) &&
    code.match(/<button/g) &&
    code.match(/<\/button>/g).length === code.match(/<button/g).length
);
