The instructions say "Select the submit button by its class and save it to a variable called $submit. Then use the appropriate jQuery method to disable the button by adding a disabled attribute to it." This will require two statements.

First create the new variable "$submit" and assign it with a jQuery object made using the proper selector.

Then you can set the attribute, but using the attribute name and value instead of the class name and attribute name.
