Do I need to add in a <br> after my <label>Interests</label> ? Otherwise there is no break

<lable>Interests</lable> <input type="checkbox" id="development" value="interest_development" name="user_interest"><label class="light" for="development">Development</label><br> <input type="checkbox" id="design" value="interest_design" name="user_interest"><label class="light" for="design">Design</label><br> <input type="checkbox" id="business" value="interest_business" name="user_interest"><label class="light" for="business">Business</label>

The label and the first clickable option are on the same line currently, as in no break or clear between them.

Yes, the best thing at your stage would be to use the br tag. Later you will learn how to position more accurately in CSS.

Happy Coding!

Hello Dan,

There is no need for a <br> tag after the 'Δ°nterests:' label. This is because the CSS rule in 'main.css' already makes any element coming after all labels move to the next line with the rule: ' display: block; '.

If your checkbox elements are coming inline with your label, then you need to check your main.css rule for labels. It might be that you have mistakenly modified the rule from having the block effect.

All the best!
