Learn HTML Forms by Building a Registration Form - Step 41

HTML-CSS

“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.”

I don’t understand what I should do in this step. Where exactly should I put the name attribute?
Thank you!!

Provide a name attribute to all the input tags and the textarea tag

Hi!
You should create name attributes for the submittable elements, except for the radio ones , which already have name attributes of “account-type”. Basically, all of your input tags. For example, on mine, for the label with text “Enter Your First Name”, I added a name attribute in the input element with value of first-name.
Let me know if I can help further!

I am having the same problem. All of my elements already have the name attribute. I added the name attribute to the elements and it is still not progressing me.

this is the error message I receive:

Test

Sorry, your code does not pass. Try again.

Hint

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

what does it mean by this? Give “file” a “name” attribute? it doesn’t make sense file isn’t included in the code up for edit.

The hint means you have missed adding name attribute to the input element of type file. It is the one near the profile picture label.
