When I add the opt group label its say's "It looks like Task 2 is no longer passing." but looks fine on the preview. I have made sure to add the correct label and closing tag but I can't figure out what i'm doing wrong. possible bug? or am I missing something out?

Is that Dot supposed to be there after the optgroup label? :-)

There must be a bug. The code is correct. I had the same problem with another quiz.

It's actually meant to be a colon but it made no difference, I tried to putting the closing tag right in front of the tag and it worked.

<form action="index.html" method="post">
      <h1>Shirt Order Form</h1>
      <select id="color" name="shirt_color">
        <optgroup label="Shirt Color."></optgroup>
          <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>
    </form>

I think team treehouse didn't account that I would try to group the options but suppose It works fine since there's only one group.
