Shirts button is grayed out

After working through the video, the shirts button is gray and won't allow me to click on it. I went back and removed all the code the video showed to input. I reloaded the page and the button text is still gray. What gives?

Hi Bradley,

I just downloaded the Project Files and everything seemed to work. Try clearing the cache in your browser. I had a similar problem awhile back and that fixed it. If you're using Chrome, before clearing the cache you might try highlighting the address in the browser address bar and then pressing enter as opposed to refreshing it.

Good luck, Jeff

Thanks Jeff but that didn't fix it. I reluctantly just used the project files to continue on. It really bugs me that I'll never know what the deal was. Anyone know of a free IDE that I can use that will check for syntax errors like Xcode and Visual Studio does? This code, test, debug cycle on PHP is a pain coming from Obj-C programming.
