HTML HTML Forms Choosing Options Create Radio Buttons

I haven't changed my label from Task 3 - I have added radio button labels but it says 3 no longer passes.

I don't understand what's going wrong with my code. I haven't changed the label from Task 3 - it still isn't associated with a size. I've merely added labels to the size radio buttons but now it's saying task 3 no longer passes. How frustrating. Help?

A few things: 1) Your input tags need to be closed using /> at the ending 2) The label tags should wrap around the input tags

Here is your code with few of the corrections made:

       <label> Shirt Size</label>

          <label for="small"> Small <input type="radio" id="small" value="small" name="shirt_size"/></label>

          <label for="medium"> Medium <input type="radio" id="medium" value="medium" name="shirt_size"/></label>

          <label for="large"> Large <input type="radio" id="large" value="large" name="shirt_size"/></label>
   </form> ```

Hi Amanda! to emulate Nick's example, he creates the shirt sizes like this:

<input type="radio" id="small" value="small" name="shirt_size"><label for="small">Small</label>
<br/>

Looks like this is another way to approach this!

Thanks so much Sarah! It's great (and a little confusing!) to know there are several solutions to the same problem ;-)
