Issue Description

This challenge would be a lot more informative if a description of what adding the form-control class to the input field actually does. Something along the lines of:

All textual [input], [textarea], and [select] elements with class [.form-control] have a width of 100%.

first timers only help wanted

just give a class="form-control" to

1) <form action="/submit-cat-photo" class="form-control">

2) <div class="row" class="form-control">
before your checkbox's 1st div i.e. <div class="col-xs-4">

and finally add here
3)<input type="text" placeholder="cat photo URL" class="form-control" required>

This challenge is currently quite short and it's defiantly worth adding an explanation here.

To First Timer:
You will need to add the sentence under this line. Please, check our Guidelines for Contributing and if you need any assistance reach out to the Contributors Chat room.

Note: You can only submit a pull request for this issue if you are new and haven't submitted one before. Hence the issue label first-timers-only :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

The code you'll need to add specifically is

"All textual <code>&lt;input&gt;</code>, <code>&lt;textarea&gt;</code>, and <code>&lt;select&gt;</code> elements with the class <code>.form-control</code> have a width of 100%."

It should render as

All textual <input>, <textarea>, and <select> elements with the class .form-control have a width of 100%.

Hey there. I'm a first-timer interested in getting started with contributing to Free Code Camp. I will submit a PR for this issue. Thanks!

Hey What about tests ??
Tests should be added for each input.
