Code is broken on test: Cannot add 'small' label below Shirt Size: label without causing an error in the code check.

Potential bug, not really a question.

Must have been tired... this can be closed. The issue was the placement of my labels, which should have come after my radio buttons.

I am somewhat new to this area, but it may be that the radio type requires slightly different formatting. For example, the below code has the label after the input (this puts the radio bubble to the left of the label). Also, I used <br> after the label to make it stack vertically instead of having one line with multiple options on it.

However, like you said, it may just be a bug in the workspace. 

<label>Age:</label>
          <input type="radio" id="male" value="male" name="user_gender"><label for="male" class="light">Male</label><br>
          <input type="radio" id="female" value="female" name="user_gender"><label for="female" class="light">Female</label>

Hi Jamison -

You're right. That is the issue with it.
