control attribute

hello, this is my code test:

<video> <source src="http://treehouse-code-samples.s3.amazonaws.com/html-video-and-audio/bridge.mp4" type="video/mp4" controls > </video>

Everything passes until I type in controls, then It doesn't let me pass anymore. I have checked and rechecked the spelling, place and attributes and I couldn't copy it any better. Please Help!!!

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">

  <body>

    <h1>HTML Video and Audio</h1>

    <div class="wrapper">


      <!-- Add your code below this line -->
       <video>
        <source src="http://treehouse-code-samples.s3.amazonaws.com/html-video-and-audio/bridge.mp4" type="video/mp4" control >
      </video>

    </div>

Hi Montoya,

The controls attribute needs to be added to the opening <video> element, not the <source>.

Hope this helps.
