    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>HTML Forms</title>
  </head>
  <body>

    <form action="index.html" method="post">
      <h1>Shirt Order Form</h1>
      <select id = "color" name = "shirt_color">
        <optgroup label = "color">
          <option value = "red">Red</option>
          <option value = "yellow">Yellow</option>
          <option value = "purple">Purple</option>
