HTML-Forms

I really don't know what I'm doing wrong????

Add labels for the two checkboxes that say "Fast Shipping" and "Subscribe to Newsletter". Then add lines after the labels.

<!DOCTYPE html>

  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>HTML Forms</title>

  <body>
    <form action="index.html" method="post">

      <label for="color">Shirt Color:</label>
      <select id="color" name="shirt_color">
        <option value="red">Red</option>
        <option value="yellow">Yellow</option>

I see 2 major issue in your code.

  1. Place the submit button before closing </form> tag.
  2. <label> tag is not closed in 'Fast Shipping'. Should be <label for="shipping" class="light">Fast Shipping</label><br>
