Learn HTML Forms by Building a Registration Form - Step 42

Tell us what’s happening:

I don’t understand what’s being asked of me to perform. The hint says: “You should give the input expecting a first name a name attribute. PS I would have chosen first-name”. I went throughout the code and added a “name” attribute to each line that didn’t have one and it was incorrect.

Your code so far

In your code, I only saw you added name attribute for the profile picture input tag:

There are 7 <input> tags, 1 <select> tag, and 1 <textarea> that needed to add name attribute to.

That’s because I deleted it and didn’t feel like redoing all my errors again. Then sent this post. Idk what it’s asking me. Some of the instructions are vague.

This lesson will require you to be patient and carry out the task with care and an eye for detail. The hints box has provided some handy tips, you can use it to debug your code. Just take your time.

The instructions for this step is adding name attributes for all submittable elements in the form (<input>, <select>, <textarea>).

It’s a bit tedious but it’s good to practice your patience and carefulness.
