It keeps telling me to write "Shirt Size:"

It keeps telling me to write Shirt Size: within the label element but i did so I don't really get why it's not working.

    <meta charset="utf-8">

  <body>
    <form action="index.html" method="post">
      <h1>Shirt Order Form</h1>
      <label for="color">Shirt Color:</label>
      <select id="color" name="shirt_color">

      <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">

Hey! It seems you may have missed a tiny detail in the very first step. Your code needs to start after the initial select menu.

"After the select menu, create a radio button with the ID "small", the value "small", and the name "shirt_size". Don't add a label or line breaks yet."

Try that and let me know how it goes

Hi Nelia,

The code you've written is perfect. You just made one small mistake. In the first 2 tasks you had to make the radiobuttons after the select menu. In your code it's written inside the select menu. If you placed the 4 lines of code you've written underneath the closing </select> tag it should work :)

    <form action="index.html" method="post">
      <h1>Shirt Order Form</h1>
      <label for="color">Shirt Color:</label>
      <select id="color" name="shirt_color">
        <option value="red">Red</option>
        <option value="yellow">Yellow</option>
        <option value="purple">Purple</option>

        <option value="green">Green</option>
        <option value="orange">Orange</option>
      </select>

      <label for='shirt_size'>Shirt Size:</label>
      <input type='radio' id='small'value='small'name='shirt_size'>
