are you sure that you added it to the first checkbox?

this is not a checkbox, the checkbox is not checked

you also may want to fix this

3

Could you explain what I did wrong because I still don’t get what to fix.

4

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

You need to add checked to two elements.

  1. The first radio button
  2. the first checkbox

Also this is missing a closing >

<input id="outdoor" type="radio" name="indoor-outdoor" value="outdoor"  Outdoor
