Learn HTML Forms by Building a Registration Form - Step 61

Q1. What is another attribute selector?

The last paragraph of the question 61 says "Using another attribute selector, style the input with a type of file.....
Is it
input[type=“file”] {
}
or something else?
I tried the class attribute by adding class=“file” inside to use the .file {} in css, but I feel like using the class attribute is not what is asked in this question. I’m very confused…

Q2. How much padding should I add to the upload button? and what is "the other ‘input’ elements?
The question "Using another attribute selector, style the input with a type of file ====> to be the same “padding” as “the other input elements”.
Does “style it to be the same padding as the other input elements” mean
style it to be
padding-bottom: 1px;
padding-right: 2px;
padding-left: 2px;
padding-top: 1px;
or
padding: 1px 2px 2px 1px;
to make the “file” to have the same padding as the other four inputs in the first “fieldset” have by default?

or am I taking the question wrong? Is the question asking me to do different thing in the first place?

I left my code so far for your reference.

Thank you in advance.

Yes that is a selector that includes an attribute selector .

This is the one used in the other input selector, so just write the same code again

You are missing the } which closes the input selector for type submit

Btw, the step directions say

By default, a padding of 1px 2px is given to input elements you can type in.

So that means you can use

padding: 1px 2px;

As that will assign 1px to the top and bottom and 2px to the left and right.
