SOLVED
it was an error in the code above it, forgot a closing element oops
the label is a question and the buttons are answers
for some reason the question is not showing up and the first radio button is not lined up properly
tried nesting the buttons inside the question label, no change
tried enclosing all of it in a fieldset and making the question label element a legend instead, no change
commented out all the radio buttons, still no question
retyped the code, triple-checked it, everything looks correct to me
i had to start this project over due to loss of code (rip) and i did not have any issue like this before
here is my html css and the preview
it’s not fully styled yet because this issue halted that while i figure out what the hap is fuckening
please help, i’m so frustrated and confused
(i also am not sure why my background image isn’t showing up, but that’s a completely different issue)
