I don't see where my problem is(<label> element within the <form> element, right before the first radio button)

This code isn't passing and I can't figure out why. It's written that "You need to add a label element within the form element, right before the first radio button". Isn't that exactly where I have put <label>Shirt Size:</label> ?

Thank you!

      <label for="color">Shirt Color:</label>
      <select id="color" name="shirt_color">
        <label>Shirt Size:</label>
        <input type="radio" id="small" value="small" name="shirt_size">

The problem here isn't in your code itself, more as it is the placement of it. But it's okay, this one is worded a little weird if you don't fully understand html.

When they ask for things like "after the select menu", what they are talking about is the closing tag. So in your markup, you have the elements within the select menu itself. So, if you change your code to this:

<!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>
      </select>
      <label>Shirt Size:</label>
        <input type="radio" id="small" value="small" name="shirt_size">
        <input type="radio" id="medium" value="medium" name="shirt_size">
        <input type="radio" id="large" value="large" name="shirt_size">
      <button type="submit">Place Order</button>
    </form>
  </body>
</html>

Then it will work. It can be a little confusing, but you'll get it.
