Tell us what’s happening:
Hello everyone,
I am getting an error for the outdoor and indoor buttons. I can see it on the website.
However this is the message I am getting
Each of your radio button elements should be added within the form tag.
Any ideas as to where I went wrong.

You put your code outsite the tag <form></form>! it should be inside…Put it like this and it should work

<form action="/submit-cat-photo">
    <input type="text" placeholder="cat photo URL" required>
    <label for="indoor"> 
  <input id="indoor" type="radio" name="indoor-outdoor">Indoor 
</label>

<label for="outdoor"> 
  <input id="outdoor" type="radio" name="indoor-outdoor">outdoor 
</label>
    <button type="submit">Submit</button>
  </form>

Your radio buttons are not within the form tag. This is the form tag:

<form>

</form>
