HTML HTML Forms Choosing Options Create Radio Buttons

Trying to create a radio button. Not sure why it doesn't work

The challenge is asking me to add a radio button after the select menu. Everything looks correct to me, but I'm getting a message saying I need to put it within the <form> element. Isn't it already within that element?

index.html
<!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>
      </select>

      <input type=”radio” id=”small” value=”small” name=”shirt_size”>


      <button type="submit">Place Order</button>
    </form>
  </body>
</html>

Hello Amy!

I copied and pasted your code to the challenge on my side :

<input type=”radio” id=”small” value=”small” name=”shirt_size”>

and all that I did is change your to mine " . the issue is the apostrophes.

<input type = "radio" id = "small" value = "small" name = "shirt_size">

hope that helps!

Yes! Very subtle difference, but I see it now. Thank you!
