Tell us what’s happening:
“The directions are: 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 am assuming that the submittable elements are Names (1st and last), email,password, profilepicthure, age, referrer and bio. When I added the name=“xxxx” in each of the corresponding labels it gave me an error message and the hint " You should give the file a name attribute. PS I would have chosen file. " What ‘file’ are they talking about? And who is PSI?
