Oops!

"Looks like task 2 is no longer passing" What on earth does this mean... I keep getting this error, on Chrome and Safari. I realized that on this step I was indeed required to add a "label". There's still something wrong since it's sending me to redo step 2. You may want to have a look at it as it is very misleading and it made me waste 15 minutes trying to figure out what was wrong with task two where in fact task THREE was wrong Thanks.

Hi Daniel,

Think you have added some code that is not needed to pass the code challenge...

<!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>
      <button type="submit">Place Order</button>
    </form>

  </body>
</html>

Hope this helps! :)

I did it without adding it, that code is for the last step anyways. The problem is that it tells you "step 2 is wrong" when in fact step THREE is wrong. You have a bug there.
