The first checkbox is missing the checked attribute.

I don’t see the checked attribute on your first checkbox element,

<input id="loving" type="checkbox" name="personality" value="loving"> <label for="loving">Loving</label>
3

the exersice says: just add the word checked to the input element, making sure there is space between it and other attributes.

<label><input checked id="indoor" type="radio" name="indoor-outdoor" value="indoor"> Indoor</label>

and it shows the radio button selected by default.
I think this is how. The instruction says: you need to add the checked attribute to it. There’s no need to set a value to the checked attribute.

4

Make the first radio button and the first checkbox selected by default.
