Even after adding the <br> and class="light", radio buttons are not appearing with their respective labels. Why?

          <label for="under_13">Under 13</label><input type="radio" id="under_13" value="under_13" name="user_age" class="light"><br>          
          <label for="above_13">Above 13</label><input type="radio" id="over_13" value="above_13" name="user_age" class="light">```

Hi there.

The for attribute with label links with the name attribute. So to get the label and element to link together you'll need to use the same values in those attributes

<label for="under_13">Under 13</label><input type="radio" id="under_13" value="under_13" name="under_13" class="light"><br>          
          <label for="above_13">Above 13</label><input type="radio" id="over_13" value="above_13" name=under_13" class="light">

Actually, I could not get you Jonathan. What I understand is that the FOR attribute should be based on ID attribute. And, the NAME attribute should be same for all the checkboxes. For example, in one of the previous track, I had the following code and it worked.

<input type="checkbox" name="foods" value="Grapes">Grapes<br> <input type="checkbox" name="foods" value="Apples">Apples<br> <input type="checkbox" name="foods" value="Carrot">Carrot<br>
