First off, don't forget to close the select element after the last option, and the button needs to be after the select element, because it is a separate element and not part of select. And one last thing, you need to make sure your button is a "submit" button and not a "button" button.

<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 vaule="green">Green</option> <option value="orange">Orange</option> </select> <button type="submit">Place order</button> </form>
