HTML Radio Button Challenge Help

I need help with one of the challenges in the Radio Buttons in HTML Course. It asks me to "Add a label above the radio button group that says "Shirt Size:". Don't associate it with any specific element."

  <body>
    <form action="index.html" method="post">
      <h1>Shirt Order Form</h1>
      <label for="color">Shirt Color:</label>
      <select id="color" name="shirt_color">
      <label>Shirt Size:</label>  
      <input type="radio" id="small" value="small" name="shirt_size">
      <input type="radio" id="medium" value="medium" name="shirt_size"> 
      <input type="radio" id="large" value="large" name="shirt_size">   
        <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>

Hey Daniel,

Those radio buttons should be outside of the select element. That's why the challenge won't let you pass. Only option elements should be inside a select element.

Move the label and the radio buttons outside of the select element, and you'll be good to go.
