(sigh) I don't get it.... help with simple code input [type="submit'] ???

Finally, add a new attribute selector that will target the submit button. Set the text color to white and the background color to steelblue.

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

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

(sigh) I don't get it, can someone identify what's wrong?

I too have been racking my brain on this for the last half hour! checked it again and again and noticed I had text-color: white; when our friend above had 'color: white; But I thought text-color: white; was the right way to type it!?
