Challenge: Learn HTML Forms by Building a Registration Form - Step 41

Link to the challenge:

It keeps saying I should give the number and name attribute. I don’t know what it means cause I already added a name attribute and “number” isn’t an element. Help, please…

when I copy this code into place I see this hint:

Hint

You should give the textarea element a name attribute. PS I would have chosen bio

I just did that. Now it’s saying the same thing it said for yours. Like it accepted that code was correct and now it is picking something else.

The hint asks you to give a name attribute to the <textarea> element.

If you follow that you should be able to pass the tests.

Hi, the hint on mine tells me to give a name attribute to the number. I did that but it didnt accept it but it accepted it on the previous commenter’s code. I’ve added the name attribute to the <textarea> element and it keeps doing the same thing, denying my code after I’ve corrected it.

Can you post your current code.


I’ve edited your code for readability. When you enter a html tag surround it with a backtick(`) so that it is visible to others.

I’ve edited your code for readability. When you enter a code block into a forum post, please precede it with a separate line of three backticks and follow it with a separate line of three backticks to make it easier to read.

You can also use the “preformatted text” tool in the editor (</>) to add backticks around text.

See this post to find the backtick on your keyboard.
Note: Backticks (`) are not single quotes (').


You have used a colon(:) instead of an equal to(=) in both the cases, in the number and the <textarea> too.

can you try to not leave spaces to the left of the equal signs?
I’m not sure if that will help or not but that’s what I would fix first.

what is the current hint? (please copy and paste it, don’t paraphrase it)
