my <input type=" on my last two checkboxes are highlighted as well as my closing fieldset body and html tags. Help?

Can someone help me find the error in my code? It seems to the exact same as Nicks.

Hi Ryan,

I think you're just missing quotations after your name = "user_interest" on all each line for the checkboxes. Hope it works!

Ryan Bergeson , so I started fixing and tidying up your code. As Fred Sites stated, you were missing some closing quotation marks. I'm not sure what errors you were experiencing , below you will find the code edit, and you can view a live version of the code below at http://kezkhou.com/ryanb.html hope this helps!
