HTML Forms; Add a submit button.

The question asks;

Add a submit button with Place Order.

I created the proper html for a submit button but when I go to submit the answer I get you need to add a <button> to the form.

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>

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

    </form>

  </body>
</html>

Turns out this is the correct answer.

<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>

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