Issue with 3/5 HTML Forms

I'm not able to get this to pass. Is anyone else having this issue?

<!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">
        <label>Shirt Size:</label>
        <input type="radio" id="small" value="small" name="shirt_size">
        <label for="small">Small</label>
        <input type="radio" id="medium" value="medium" name="shirt_size">
        <label for="medium">Medium</label>
        <input type="radio" id="large" value="large" name="shirt_size">
        <label for="large">Large</label>

Your select tag starts too early. You shouldn't be using it for radio buttons.

Something like this is what you need:

<select>
        <option> </option>
        <option> </option>
</select>

It looks like you've put your radio buttons inside your select element.

Start the challenges again this time starting your radio buttons after the closing select element tag but above your button element.

Good luck :)
