Basic Attribute Selectors Quiz

Hi, I'm stuck on the 2nd question of the Basic Attribute Selectors quiz. The question is:

Add a new attribute selector that will target the input element with the type attribute value 'text'. Set the background color to 'lightyellow'.

My code is:

input[type="text"] {  
background-color: lightyellow;      
 }

As far as I know this should be correct but I'm getting the notice:

Bummer! Please check your attribute selector, make sure background-color is set to 'lightyellow'.

Thanks for the help!

Hi James,

Thanks for letting me know. I thought it was correct, but it just wouldn't verify!
