not sure where the error is

Add a label above the radio button group that says "Shirt Size:". Don't associate it with any specific element.

<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">

Bummer! You need to add a <label> element within the <form> element, right before the first radio button.

Hi Robert,

You're supposed to add the label and radio inputs after the <select> element. You have them inside the <select>

Try moving them after the closing </select>.

I'm not sure why the challenge let you pass the first 2 tasks with the radio inputs inside.

Hi Robert,

I don't see the <form> </form> tags in your code that you pasted. Do you have them?
