Hi Zandy,

Okay, here is the complete code you need for the whole challenge. Take a good look through so you can see how it works.

<!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>Shirt Size:</label>
    <input type="radio" id="small" value="small" name="shirt_size">
      <label for="small">Small</label><br>
    <input type="radio" id="medium" value="medium" name="shirt_size">
      <label for="medium">Medium</label><br>
    <input type="radio" id="large" value="large" name="shirt_size">
      <label for="large">Large</label><br>

    <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>

Hi Zandy,

The first thing that sticks out is you have 2 select tags the same.
Delete one of them and see how it goes from there.
If you still have a problem we can look at the code in more detail.

Hi Zandy,

Take a look at this code, it should help you out a lot.

<!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="small">Small</label> 
        <input type="radio" id="small" value="small" name="shirt_size">
      <label for="medium">Medium</label> 
        <input type="radio" id="medium" value="medium" name="shirt_size">
      <label for="large">Large</label> 
        <input type="radio" id="large" value="large" name="shirt_size">
      <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>

But your code doesn't have the shirt size label that the question is asking:

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

I think your code might be ahead of its self if thats what the code challenge is asking for, you may have more code than the challenge is looking for.

Add the label and see how you go.

I'm pretty sure my computer just hates me

Entered the label got: "Bummer! You should not associate this new label element with any other elements."
