Submit Button Code Challenge

I've checked the forum for this answer and what I found didn't fix my problem.

For the final task in the code challenge of adding the "Place Order" button. I've tried both lines of the following code but I'm still getting it marked wrong:

<button type="submit">Place Order</button>

and

<input type="submit" value="Place Order">

Am I missing something here?

 <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>
      <button type="submit">Place Order</button>

Worked for me between the form tags.

Hi, Dai:

Thanks for your suggestion but that didn't work either. I'm starting to think there is a bug in this quiz.

 <button type="submit">Place Order</button>

This is the correct line so my guess is you're putting it in the wrong place. Remember this isn't part of the options list (i.e. outside the Select element) although it's still inside the form.

Thank you, Andrew. I just discovered and posted that the error was happening because I forgot to close the select tag so the quiz wasn't recognizing my correct code. Once I added it, it was marked correct.

Ken! Thank you, thank you, thank you for posting your full markup.

I didn't close the select tag and since it was missing the quiz wasn't recognizing my correct 'Place Order' code.

Thanks again! Very much appreciated.
