# --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.equal(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.equal(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');
```
