Learn HTML Forms by Building a Registration Form - Step 41

Tell us what’s happening:
Instructions: “Give each submittable element a unique name attribute of your choosing, except for the two radio inputs.”

What I did: Gave each submittable element a unique name, minus the radio inputs.

Error message reads: “Hint - You should give the file a name attribute. *PS I would have chosen file

Error message does not help at all, and the other forum submissions didn’t help either. Am I putting the names in the wrong location? Plz help!

Link to the challenge:

The name attribute goes on the submittable element, such as an input element. You are putting them on the label instead.

That’s what I thought of, but some input elements have names already?

You were right…! lol. Sorry for doubting your answer. SOME inputs DID have names already, so I named all the ones that were missing names, and it worked! THANK YOU! Was ripping the hair off my head on this one lol.
