I'm not sure what my problem is. It has to be small.

This label element is getting me

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>
      </select>
    </form>

  </body>
</html>

Hi Corey,

I think the problem is your name attribute for the <select> element. It currently says shirt color (two words spaced out).

You need the replace the space with an underscore like the below:

<select id="color" name="shirt_color">

I hope this allows you pass this task. Happy Coding!!!
