Your code is "correct" but has a fundamental issue. Think about when you see radio buttons on a form. Does the radio button or the label come first?

How you have it:

Shirt Size

small o

medium o

large o

Alternative:

Shirt Size

o small

o medium

o large

Thanks Jeff! I will try that! You Rock!
