Hi everyone! I keep on getting this error: Bummer: You need to add a <button> element within the form.
My button is as follows: <button type="submit">Place Order</button>
And is right under my option values, but within the form tag. Please advise? Thanks in advance!

Front End Web Development Techdegree Student 3,117 PointsThanks so much! It's confusing sometimes knowing which elements have closing tags and which don't.
