Hi everyone. This is my first time using this forum and I am very new with coding. I am doing a personal project to create a HTML form and then hopefully use JavaScript to then deal with the input. Currently just putting together my very basic form before I add to it… using it as a learning exercise.
So far so good although one of my form elements doesn’t seem to be working and I can’t understand why that is… it’s the highlighted part!
what do you mean by not working? What do you expect that is not happening?
can you also copy paste your html code to the forum, so we can actually run the code. Makes it a lot easier to help
Your issues are the result of not closing the <select> tag on your first question. Add </select> after your last option. Then close of the section </section>.
<section> first question
<label>
<select>
option 1
option 2
......
</select>
<section> second question
<label>
<select>
option 1
option 2
.....
</select>
</section>
You really need to look into your starting and closing tags and proper indentation.

</section>I am hoping to achieve the following:
4 x drop down elements - which is where it seems not to be working
4 x number elements - appear to be working fine
Thanks for this note - something I am trying to remember to do. Think I have tidied it up in the code above… please prod me if I havent!
You are still not closing off your select elements.
Ahhhh got you! - I mis-read and thought you had mentioned sections (not select elements)!
