Issue with 3rd challenge question under More Pseudo-classes.

The request is to Create a new rule that selects the disabled field only (in the 'Phone' field of the HTML) and set bkgd to lightgray.

I entered the markup below and the correct field changed to light gray after refresh. However, it gave me the bummer check css selector. So I typed the attribute 'input' before the Pseudo-class and thought I had it since the field changed to light gray but I'm still getting the bummer message. Am I missing something? Please help, would like to move forward.

:disabled { background-color: #CCC }

its probably just:

:disabled { background-color: lightgray; }

just noticed did you set the closing ';' at the end?

I know the challenges can be tricky sometimes ;) But its even more rewarding if you figure it out by yourself ;)

it's kind of silly, in the real world you don't need a semicolon if you only have one atribute.

I've done the same code challenge without the semicolon on single attributes. Seemed to work fine for me.

But I've learned to put the semicolon there for single attributes to get into the habit of best practices.

@ Daniel Whyte - Nice website sir!
