Project 7 --the "Name" field

The "Name" field When the page first loads, the first text field should have the focus state by default to prompt the user.

Set the focus property to true on the <input type="text"> element for the "Name" field.

html :

<input type="email" id="email" name="user-email" class="error-border">

my code:

const name = document.getElementById('name');

name.setAttribute('autofocus', true);

I can see it added autofocus attribute to input element in the console, but it didn't work, and I tried using 'focus', it didn't either

The HTML doesn't show any element with an ID of "name", is some of the code missing?

More information would be helpful, like a link to the course page. Take a look at this video about Posting a Question.
Also, when posting code, use Markdown formatting to preserve the code's appearance.
