The challenge is asking me to add a radio button after the select menu. Everything looks correct to me, but I'm getting a message saying I need to put it within the <form> element. Isn't it already within that element?
<!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>
<input type=”radio” id=”small” value=”small” name=”shirt_size”>
<button type="submit">Place Order</button>
</form>
</body>
</html>

I copied and pasted your code to the challenge on my side :
<input type=”radio” id=”small” value=”small” name=”shirt_size”>
and all that I did is change your ” to mine " . the issue is the apostrophes.
<input type = "radio" id = "small" value = "small" name = "shirt_size">
hope that helps!
