Can you check this question out I believe the 4th step is bugged

I think that the fourth question on this is bugged. It's asking to add a submit a button with the text "Place Order" in the form.

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

That's the code that I wrote for this and it is not accepting it.

index.html 
<!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>
    </form>

  </body>
</html>

Hi Walter.

You want to have something like this, 

<form action="index.html" method="post">
      <h1>Shirt Order Form</h1>

   <input type="submit" value="Place Order">
    </form>

What it's asking for is a slightly different type of input field called a submit. It has a type attribute and a value of Place Order which is the text that goes on the button. Without this, a form can't transmit any information. 

<input type="submit" value="Place Order">

Hope this helps
