Thus far I have tried input type elements and the button element labeled submit and given value of submit and the editor says I should have the button within the form though it is already there.
<!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>
<button type="submit"> place order </button>
</form>
</body>
</html>

It still needs an end tag after the last option.
