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>

I see a few issues here:

  • there are two incomplete pieces of a tag near the labels that say: name="user_shirt size">
  • there are two extra label tags that don't belong, both have type="checkbox" which is not a property of a label
  • the "for" value of each label should be the same as the "id" property of the associated check box.
  • the instructions didn't ask for a class to be added to the labels

It also looks like you've added a "checkbox" element (which is not a valid element type) with the same ID as the real check box (and only one of any ID should be in the document), but the verifier doesn't seem to mind.
