The exercise is telling me to add a submit button within the form, but when clicking Check work it says that I have to add the button within the form -.- but it's already there...
<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="blue">Blue</option>
<option value="green">Green</option>
<option value="orange">Orange</option>
<button type="submit">Place Order</button>
</form>
