2,409 PointsNot sure what i'm doing wrong.. It looks to me like the button "Place Order" should be showing...
<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>

2,409 PointsApparently it didn't like having the code at the bottom, so i switched it to the top and all is well. I do have a question as to why it didn't work at the bottom though?

I've added my answer below. It is due to the missing closing select tag. As the select isn't closed the challenge thinks the button is in the wrong place.

25,869 PointsHi Christopher,
You look to be missing the closing /select tag.
Add that before the button and it should sort it, e.g.
</select>
<button type="submit">Place Order</button>
</form>
Hope that helps.
