Treehouse Project ReviewerButton Error
Hi everyone! I keep on getting this error: Bummer: You need to add a <button> element within the form.
My button is as follows: <button type="submit">Place Order</button>
And is right under my option values, but within the form tag. Please advise? Thanks in advance!

231,275 PointsDid you try the Preview? The closing tag for your select element is missing, so the button isn't being displayed.

Treehouse Project ReviewerThanks so much! It's confusing sometimes knowing which elements have closing tags and which don't.
