Learn HTML Forms by Building a Registration Form - Step 40

Tell us what’s happening:
I have added a name attribute but then when submitting it states I should give the file a name. I have then added the type=“file” then followed by a name attribute and it’s still showing the same thing, and this was originally within the opening label tags but now just the profile picture, age, and textarea elements, but still nothing. Can this be explained to me please, I am stuck.
Your code so far

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

Link to the challenge:

Undo that as this exercise only wants name attributes to be added. (Use name instead )

Also add a name here too?

Sorry still a little confused. I did take the type=file and just used name=“” and it’s still showing the same “give the file a name attribute” hint. And is the name attribute supposed to go into the input element or the label element?

It is supposed to go in the input element all other submitables (not label)
Please repost the new code if still not working.

That worked. I appreciate your assistance :slight_smile:
