I dont know why I cant pass this answer

Question is Add a submit button with the text "Place Order".

Error is You need to add a <button> element within the form.

But I do add <button>element within the form.

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">Chirt 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>

Hi Yuki W,

You've simply forgotten to close off your select element which is required, see the below.

<label for="color">Chirt 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>
</select>
<button type="submit">Place Order</button>

Happy coding!

You're welcome, I think the problem is that the challenge only validates the opening tag for the select element, Nick Pettit will need to look into it.
