Code Challenge HTML Forms 3/3

I'm having trouble with 3/3. It says that I am missing an attribute. Could someone help me out?

<p>Your order has been created. What flavor of ice cream would you like to add to it?</p>

   <form action="process.php" method="post">  
    <input type="hidden" value="Flavors">


    <label for="flavor">Flavor</label>
    <select id="flavor" name="flavor">
        <option value="">&#8212; Select &#8212;</option>
        <option value="Vanilla">Vanilla</option>
        <option value="Chocolate">Chocolate</option>
       <option value="Strawberry">Strawberry</option>
        <option value="Cookie Dough">Cookie Dough</option>
    </select>

<input type="hidden" value="7546"  name="order_id">

<input type="submit" value="Update Order">

    </form>

</body> </html>

Here is the 3rd Challenge:

Finally, we need the form to submit a unique identifier for the order to the process.php file. We need to be able to access that value in an “order_id” element of the $_POST array like this: $_POST["order_id"]. For this particular order, the order ID should be 7546. We don’t want this value displayed in the browser. What do we need to add to the form? (Hint: We need to add a new HTML element with three attributes.)

Thank you for your help!
