you have to close your input and open your LabelTag.

Thanks Johan!!

Other than what Johan mentioned above about closing your input tag and opening your label tag what is the issue you are having?

An open ended question like that is hard to answer when we have no idea what issue you are having :)

You're right Shawn, I should've been more specific.:)

Replace the relevant code with the following:

      <input type="radio" id="small" value="small" name="shirt_size"><label for="small">Small</label><br>
      <input type="radio" id="medium" value="medium" name="shirt_size"><label for="medium">Medium</label><br>
      <input type="radio" id="large" value="large" name="shirt_size"><label for="large">Large</label><br>
      <input type="checkbox" id="shipping" value="fast_shipping"><label for="fast_shipping">Fast Shipping</label><br>
      <input type="checkbox" id="newsletter" value="subscribe"><label for="subscribe_to_newsletter">Subscribe to Newsletter</label><br>

Thanks for the help everyone!
