Can someone check my code? I'm getting it wrong and I can't see why.

I've triple checked this and can't see what is wrong with my button tag.

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>HTML Forms</title>
  </head>
  <body>

    <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>
      </select>  
    </form>

  </body>
</html>

You're adding your button inside the select tag. Try removing it and putting it after.
