Challenge: Create a Set of Radio Buttons

You don’t want to exactly duplicate what you see in the video. You want to follow the written example.

You test says

Each of your two radio button elements should be nested in its own label element.

The lesson describes how to do this:

It is considered best practice to set a for attribute on the label element, with a value that matches the value of the id attribute of the input element. This allows assistive technologies to create a linked relationship between the label and the child input element. For example:

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

i second @JeremyLT the problem was with the syntax and nesting
