Hi Marvin. You have put the new elements in the right place and the syntax is ok but you are adding a lot of attributes to your elements that are not asked for.
Look at the spacing after your bio text as well against the instructions.
<label for="bio">
Provide a bio:
<textarea id="bio" name="bio" rows="3" cols="30">
</textarea>
</label>
hi. well using visual studio code and then copying an pasting, as then have to go into forms mode to then get to the editor or have to turn forums mode off. so is it the spacing, why is it not liking it. so how to fix. be gentle with me. trying my best. is it the spacing. did hear my screen reader jaws and the content hears right and it is the correct code. so, what am i doing wrong and how to get this to work. so if the code is correct. need the extra stuff, as previous steps, to then get it to pass and then adds. if i remove the other stuff from the editor it will then complain. so how to get this to work. why? can you explain and then talk me through how to get this to pass or what to do. trying my best as a screen reader user, and sometimes dont understand what the error message. should have better descriptions for screen reader users.
marvin.
I have just tried your code and it will work by just removing the attributes you added from the textarea element. Have you tried removing the attributes?
Don’t worry about the spacing, that doesn’t seem to be a problem.
hi. no have not tried that yet. was having dinner, here in adelaide, having a coffee, lsitening to sport, having a shower. so just back on the computer. okay will try to then remove the other stuff from after the text area. if not, then really stuck. is that what i should do. please advice, before i try that.
marvin.
hi. tried that in the editor. and this is the message i get.
hi. so how to fix. this is stupid. is the opening and closing tags. they are there. this is driving me nuts.
so why? if it ran with your code, why not mine. what am i missing. is the text area the issue. do i then need to then delete and then just type up that code again.
frustrated.
marvin.You should give the textarea element opening and closing tags.
hi. got it working, had just to go with textarea. wish they would make it more obvious to screen reader users. so it works.
sorry.
marvin.
ps: move on to the next step until i ran into the next issue and then see to see if i then google how to fix.
.
Add a textarea element inside the label element. Note that the textarea requires a closing tag.
Why did you add id, bio, rows and cols attributes to your textarea?
You need to follow the instructions exactly. Don’t add anything extra. The tests cannot account for every variation that someone might type in, so they can’t always tell you exactly what the problem is.
In this case, the hint seemed mis-leading (about opening and closing tags) because it never expected you to add these attributes.
In fact, what you’ve added is asked for in a future step, step 35 and further. It seems like you copied this code from a step later on?
hi. still not liking it. and not sure why. so will paste the error and my code from the editor. how to get this to fix. can you try on your end. so dont know why it is doing this. so whats the correct code to get this to work adn how to fix it. frustrated.
marvin.
ps: pasting below.
The first input element should have an id of profile-picture .

marvin.
Marvin I think you have posted your issue with step 34 in the thread for step 33. You confirmed earlier on in the thread that you got step 33 working. Remember to post inside the correct thread for the step you are on.
