Link to the challenge:

I don’t think an <input type="file"> accepts a placeholder attribute.

Is there a reason you’re including one? The exercise instructions don’t ask you to give it a placeholder attribute.

You do have some <input>s that are missing name attributes though, which is what the exercise is asking you to do.
