Hi Glenn! -

You're very close. Make sure to remove the quotation marks (") from between the label tags, and close your </select> tag directly below your <option> tags, like below:

        <option value="orange">Orange</option>
      </select>
        <label>Shirt Size:</label>
        <input type="radio" id="small" value="small" name="shirt_size" >
        <input type="radio" id="medium" value="medium" name="shirt_size" >
        <input type="radio" id="large" value="large" name="shirt_size" >

      <button type="submit">Place Order</button>
    </form>
  </body>
</html>

Hope this helps!

I posted the wrong screen. I actually found the problem to be that I was attempting to write my radio button menu within the select closing tag. Thank you so much for your time!
