Hi everybody! I have a problem with the dropdown menu in the Survey Form Project. I couldn’t find an example in the challenges and I know I’m doing wrong because that’s the only test I still can’t pass in the Project.  
If you could give me an example it would be great.  
Thanks! Here’s the code:

```auto
<label id="dropdown" type="dropdown"> Select a favorite place where to watch movies</label>              
 <option value="theatres">theatres</option>
               <option value="home">home</option>

```

And the error:

`Select should contain at least 2 selectable options : expected 0 to be at least 2`

That drop down select menu is created by the `<select>` tag.

You just need to wrap your options in that tag.

@bbsmooth Thank you! I hadn’t read the link you posted. It was very useful! I could pass the test now. Big thanks!
