Task 2 is no longer passing... I created the <optgroup> for Task 3 where I have to create a label.

See attached code. Thanks!

    <form action="index.html" method="post">
      <h1>Shirt Order Form</h1>
    <select id="color" name="shirt_color">
     <optgroup label="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>
     </optgroup> 
    </select>

Hi Johann,

it should be label select, not opt-group label.

    <label for="color">Shirt Color: </label>
    <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>
