Create and associate a label with each of the 3 shirt size radio buttons. Give them the text"Small","Medium",and "Large"

I've tried to follow the hints for this one but still can't seem to get the code right. I would appreciate any pointers!

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>HTML Forms</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <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>

      <label>Shirt size:</label>
       <input type="radio" id="small" name="shirt_size" value="small">
      <label for="Small"> small </label>
   <input type="radio" id="small">
      <input type="radio" id="medium" name="shirt_size" value="medium">
       <label for="medium"> medium </label>
   <input type="radio" id="medium">
      <input type="radio" id="large" name="shirt_size" value="large">
       <label for="Large"> Large </label>
   <input type="radio" id="Large">



      <button type="submit">Place Order</button>
    </form>
  </body>
</html>

Hi Ainara!

Be very precise about upper/lowercase.

Follow the directions/instructions to the letter.

Only the label text should be capitalized.

Also, you had duplicate/redundant radio buttons.

This passes all 5 tasks:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>HTML Forms</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <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>

      <label>Shirt size:</label>
      <label for="small">Small</label><br />
      <input type="radio" id="small" name="shirt_size" value="small">   
      <label for="medium">Medium</label><br />
      <input type="radio" id="medium" name="shirt_size" value="medium">
      <label for="large">Large</label><br />
      <input type="radio" id="large" name="shirt_size" value="large">   

      <button type="submit">Place Order</button>
    </form>
  </body>
</html>

Also, if you indent better (more precisely), your code will be much easier to read and debug.

I hope that helps.

Stay safe and happy coding!
