Learn HTML Forms by Building a Registration Form - Step 40

Tell us what’s happening:
Okay so it says " With form submissions, it is useful, and good practice, to provide each submittable element with a name attribute. This attribute is used to identify the element in the form submission.

Give each submittable element a unique name attribute of your choosing, except for the two radio inputs."

Not really sure where i’m supposed to add a name attribute for each form submission. I know I already have the name=“” in the input. I’ve tried doing <file name="first-name>nest in all my label input blah blah then

and i get this error " You should give the input expecting a first name a name attribtute. *PS I would have chosen `first-name"

I have also tried wrapping <name file="first-name> around just the input. Can’t figure it out

also when I click to look at other peoples post for this same question the code will be similar but they are talking about something totally diferrent…idk

Thank you!

so i don’t make a new name element just a name attribute, but not the name attribute I have in the input id. where do I put the name=“”

better yet, what’s a submittal element?!

Submittable Elements are elements that can be filled and be submitted to the server. Such as Input, Textarea, Option, and etc

Inputs needs a name attribute for the data to be successfully sent to the server.

If you notice, your first-name, last-name, email, and new-password has a name attribute in it. The question asks you to do the same for file and few other elements that doesn’t have a name attribute on it.

Hope that helps :grin:
