Don't understand HTML5 Validation

[bougieblub]

Hi, I’m having a hard time adding the HTML5 validation to my code, particularly for the email, name and number. What does this HTML5 validation entail other than adding the “required” in the ? How do you require a field to be text-specific vs. number-specific?

Here’s my CodePen: https://codepen.io/bougieblub/pen/GRWPaPo
Please disregard my lack of CSS - haven’t added that portion yet.

When a test fails, click the red button to see which test(s) are failing and text to help you correct the issue.

• Be sure and read more than just the first line of the failing message. The ability to read and comprehend error messages is a skill you’ll need to acquire as a developer. Ask questions on what you don’t understand.

How do you require a field to be text-specific vs. number-specific?

The failing test message will answer this question.

Hope that helps.

EDIT: Remember, an id must be unique within the document. You have duplicate ids

Hi @Roma ,

Thank you for this - I was confused with which ids I should be changing, but your note on me having duplicate ids was helpful.

Many thanks again!
