HTML HTML Forms Choosing Options Create Radio Buttons

I think this is a bug. I made my first radio button with <input> and it worked.

I copied and pasted the same input that worked. I then only changed the id and value. Any reason why this doesn't work?

<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> <input type="radio" value="small" id="small" name="shirt_size"> <input type="radio" value="medium" id="medium" name="shirt_size"> <input type="radio" value="large" id="large" name="shirt_size"> <button type="submit">Place Order</button>

Hi Levi,

I ran the code below, and it worked in the Code Challenge. Are you getting an error when you try to submit? If you're getting an error, make sure to close the form tag at the end, since I didn't see the closing tag in your code snippet.

     <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> 
        <input type="radio" value="small" id="small" name="shirt_size"> 
        <input type="radio" value="medium" id="medium" name="shirt_size">
        <input type="radio" value="large" id="large" name="shirt_size"> 
        <button type="submit">Place Order</button>
     </form>

I'm sorry, my mistake. I'm tired.

No worries! Happy learning.
