how to refer to an html file using a mocha/chai test

I have an index.html file:

<!doctype html>

<html>

    <head>

        <style>

            #container {width: 600px; max-width: 100%; margin: 1em auto;}

        </style>

    </head>

    <body>

        <div id="container">

            <form>

                <input type="text" id="text" placeholder="enter some text" required maxlength="10" pattern="^[a-z,A-Z]{1,10}$"><br />

                <input type="text" id="number" placeholder="enter a number" required maxlength="10" pattern="d{10}"><br />

                <input type="submit">

            </form>

        </div>

    </body>

</html>

I'd like to run a mocha test using chai asserts on the form.

When I test an external .js file, I can use a require statement to pull in that .js file.

How do I reference/import an .html file to run tests on the form?

I can find no such information using a Google search.

Help appreciated.

EDIT: do I run the test in a <script> inside the .html file?

I think I have found the answer.

I can use the following inside the html file.

<div id="mocha"></div>

<script src="node_modules/mocha/mocha.js"></script>

<script src="node_modules/chai/chai.js"></script>

<script>mocha.setup('bdd')</script>



<!-- load code you want to test here -->



<!-- load your test files here -->



<script>

  mocha.run();

</script>
