Tell us what’s happening:
Describe your issue in detail here.
The hint says to name give the file a name, but I’m missing connection between that hint and the original instructions for this step which says to give each element a name. I don’t understand where to insert name values for the individual elements. Tried inside and .

Challenge: Learn HTML Forms by Building a Registration Form - Step 40

Link to the challenge:

insert a name attribute into this input.
give it any value you want.

the syntax is

<element name="text">

just add the name attribute to the opening tag of the input used to get the filename
(and don’t forget the textarea for the bio too)

Ok, but it’s asking for each submit-able element to have a name, not just input element for filename. So…1. I don’t know the opening tag of input used to get the filename, and I did add the name to each input (fieldset, label, textarea). :woman_facepalming:

Still get message,
" Hint

You should give the file a name attribute. PS I would have chosen file

did you add one here?
(pls post updated code if yes and still stuck)
