Learn HTML Forms by Building a Registration Form - Step 41

Hi there.

Please help.

I can not work this task out at all.
I am not clear upon where I need to enter the requested ‘unique name’ attributes?

Task 41 "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."

There is already a name attribute in the input elements. Am I to replace that?
Error message =

" Sorry, your code does not pass. Don’t give up.

Hint

You should give the file a name attribute. PS I would have chosen file"
Your code so far

<!-- file: index.html -->
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

Glad you found it out. The reason why I posted the link instead of just saying the answer is because when you get a job as a developer no one is just going to give you the answer. Researching and reading articles like that is a big part of what developers do. Keep it going!
