Basic attribute selector

I am stuck on my last task (3 of 3) on the subject of attribute. "Add a new attribute selector that will target the submit button. Set the text color to 'white' and the background color to 'steelblue'" can't figure out what I am missing, help! My code is-- input [type="submit"] { color: white background-color: steelblue; }

Hi Miranda,

The code you have posted is missing a semi-colon after the word "white", and you also have a space after the word "input". The code should look like the following:

input[type="submit"] { color: white; background-color: steelblue; }

Hope this helps :)
