Selected category choice input not checked

Question

Following along with the video. I cannot get the "If" statement that checks the selected category choice to actually check the box.

I've double checked the cookie, and the value is saving there, like:

"{\"name\": \" Joe \"\054 \"color\": \"blue\"\054 \"shirts\": \"\r\n pink\"\054 \"pants\": \"\r\n stars\"\054 \"hat\": \"\r\n pink-beanie\"\054 \"glasses\": \"\r\n optical-purple\"\054 \"footwear\": \"\r\n sandal-pink\"}"

I can also get the option printing on the screen using {{ saves.get(category) }} as a token.

I've double checked the html markup and the "checked" attribute is not being added to the selected radio option.

I fixed the typo he corrected at the end of the video as well. If it's relevant, I'm not following along in Workspaces, but on my local machine.

'''python

 <div class="items">

        {% for category, choices in options.items() %}

        {% if category != 'colors' %}

        <div class="grid-100 row">
            <div class="grid-20">

                <p class="category-title">{{ category.title()}} </p>

            </div>

            <div class="grid-80">

                <input type="radio" id="no_{{ category }}_icon" name="{{ category }}" value='' {% if not saves.get(category) %} checked {% endif %}>

                <label for="no_{{ category }}_icon"><img src="/static/img/no-selection.svg"> </label>

                {% for choice in choices %}

                    <input type="radio" id="{{ category }}-{{ choice }}_icon" name="{{ category }}" value="{{ choice }}" {% if saves.get(category) == choice %} checked{% endif %}>

                    <label for="{{ category }}-{{ choice }}_icon" ><img src="/static/img/{{category}}-{{choice}}.svg"></label>




                {% endfor %}


            </div>

        </div>


        {% endif %}
        {% endfor %}
    </div>
