The problem is actually in the placement of where you are putting your radio buttons. As a group, they are supposed to come after the select group. You have it after the opening select tag, but it should come after the closing select tag. like this: 

      <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>

Thank you Emma........went back and watched the video on select. Guess I wasn't paying attention. Syntax and placement seem to be my two biggest problems........wonder if anyone else has those problems.

Thanks again, James
