The pointer is not changing for me. Can anyone see why? I am not seeing it. Thanks in advance.

The pointer is not changing for me: my code: input[type="button"], input[type="reset"], input[type="submit"] { cursor: pointer; }

Hello Deborah.

The CSS looks fine to me, I see why you're confused! Have you double checked that the "type" values are corresponding to the HTML attributes?

Hi, Deborah,

Check the rest of your code for syntax errors. CSS will not make you aware of mistakes and will only work until an error occurs.

For example, I accidentally wrapped placeholder in quotation marks.

input["placeholder"] {
  background: #fdfee6;
}

This is incorrect syntax. Only the code I wrote before that worked until I removed the unnecessary quotes.

The code looks good and works fine. Perhaps it's an issue with where the code is in your CSS. Could it be in the media query at the bottom of the CSS?
