Attribute Selectors

What is wrong with my CSS code with the attributes. It says it is incorrect and I can't find the mistake.

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Attribute Selectors</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
</head>
<body>
    <p>
        Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Vivamus sed egestas tortor, vel tincidunt dolor.
    </p>
    <a href="#" title="More!">Duis ut velit faucibus</a>
    <p>
        Proin orci arcu, dapibus vel faucibus in, commodo in nunc. <a href="#">Vestibulum erat dolor laoreet</a> nec cursus non, luctus ut elit. In sed congue lectus, id ullamcorper massa. <a href="#" title="More!">View more &raquo;</a>
    </p>
    <form>
        <input type="text" name="email">
        <input type="submit" name="submit">
    </form>
</body>
</html>
style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
a[title="More!"]{
  color: darkred;
}
input[type="text"] {
  color: lightyellow;
}

Hey Jordan Feige,

When doing Challenges, only do what the Challenge asks you to do. For example, in your first selector in the first task it asks you to target all anchor elements with a title, not one specific title in an anchor link. In your second selector for the 2nd task, it asks you to set the background color to lightyellow, not the font color.
