Basic Attribute Selectors

In the video the selector syntax is shown as: input [type="text"] { color: red; }

But the code challenge wont accept this syntax. Instead it accepts: input, type="text { color: red; }

I don't know if this is just a problem for me or not?

Can you please show me your code so that I can help you out? I don't know if you did anything wrong without seeing your code. Now I can say to check and make sure you didn't mistype anything, as that can easily lead to errors popping up.

Hi Nicholas,

The challenge never asks for that css. What task are you referring to?

Your selector has a space in it between input and [type="text"] which would be a problem.

It should be input[type="text"] { color: red; }

However I don't see any task requesting that styling.
