10,407 PointsIn the following code, I experimented by removing the bold and replacing it with italics. It didn't work.
After it didn't work, I replaced the bold, text. That didn't work either. What happened here?

is not a value of the property font-weight
. Instead, give this a shot
font-style: italic

In the following code, I experimented by removing the bold and replacing it with italics. It didn't work. After it didn't work, I replaced the bold, text. That didn't work either. What happened here?
input[type="checkbox"]:checked + label { font-weight: italics; } /then I switched it back to bold/ input[type="checkbox"]:checked + label { font-weight: bold; }
