There is something wrong with the platform.

HTML Forms : Question: challenge 3/4

My answer is correct but it is saying it is wrong

    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>HTML Forms</title>
  </head>
  <body>

<form action="index.html" method="post">
      <h1>Shirt Order Form</h1>
      <select id="color" name="shirt_color">
        <label for="color">Shirt Color:</label>
        <option value="red">Red</option>
        <option value="yellow">Yellow</option>

Hello! :)

Just place the label before the select tag

<!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>
    </form>
