Checkboxes and radio are still showing as input fields

Checkboxes and radio are still showing as input fields. The password is still showing the characters. I've tried it in both Chrome and Safari. What am I doing wrong?

The following is the code: <!doctype html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title>My Page</title> </head> <body> <form action="#" method="POST" name="my_form"> <input type=“text” name=“username"> <br> <input type=“password” name=“password"><br> <input type=“radio” name=“gender" value="Male">Male<br> <input type=“radio” name=“gender" value="Female">Female<br> <input type=“checkbox” name=“foods" value="Grapes">Grapes<br> <input type=“checkbox” name=“foods" value="Apples">Apples<br> <input type=“checkbox” name=“foods" value="Oranges">Oranges<br> </form>

</body> </html>

The forum uses markdown to correctly format code, check out this thread on how to type code in the forum for some examples.

It seems your code didn't make it trough. You can use Codepen to give us your code and I also suggest you use HTML Validator to see what the problem is. My guess is that you made a typo and didn't close a tag that messes up the other ones.

Hope that helps! Regards, Dennis.

Thank you for the help. It worked, I copied and pasted the exact code from Codepen to the file in Sublime and it worked.
