Survey Form - Build a Survey Form

Tell us what’s happening:
I am not sure if I am leaving any critical code out for what I have so far. What I am doing is getting the HTML done first; before doing the CSS. Is my code proper for this task or do I need to edit it some more.

My main issue is code formatting each fieldset and whether or not I need to give “id” for each element.

Your code so far

Challenge: Survey Form - Build a Survey Form

Link to the challenge:

You do not technically need to add any CSS for this project to pass. All of the tests are checking the HTML only. So if you are not passing any tests then you will need to fix your HTML.

label elements do not need ids. Most input elements should have ids though because that is how you associated the label with the id. You set the for attribute on the label to the id value on the input.

There are two portions of my code that do not pass the tests.

  • every radio button group should have at least two radio buttons.
  • you should have at least one text area element that is a descendent of survey form

Should I have used the button attribute for the radio buttons?
I have created a text area for the last question, but this error still happens.
Here is my code:

No, you are supposed to use a radio button input. Your issue is that you aren’t grouping them correctly. Radio buttons are in the same group if they have the same name attribute.

Text areas don’t use the input element. They have their own element.

MDN: The Textarea element

Your last suggestions helped me solve the issues. All tests passed. Now I am going to work on the CSS tomorrow (from PST Time) even though it isn’t required.

Edit: P.S. I bookmarked your Developer reference in a bookmark folder. Thanks for sharing that resource.
