**Tell us what’s happening:**  
Describe your issue in detail here.

Hi,  
Can someone help me with the hint reads as follows:

## Test

Sorry, your code does not pass. Hang in there.

## Hint

You should give the `file` a `name` attribute. _PS I would have chosen `file`_

What do the mean by give the file a name attribute and how do I go about doing this any clues or ideas that can help.

**Your code so far**

Look at your preview pane.  
You have some fields that are being filled out right now. One of them is mentioning a profile picture I believe and lets the user pick a file?  
This is the file input.

You can find it in the code by looking for an input element of type file.

As for adding a name attribute. It is added just like any other html attribute. In the opening tag of the respective element.
