what just happened? input changed to anchor element?

the instructor applied the focus psuedoclass to the input element, but the example that immediately followed showed the psuedoclass being applied to the anchor element, and then the css text afterwards showed the anchor element in place of input. did i miss something?

Hi Chris, if you look in the questions for the video, you'll notice that others have remarked on the same thing. Apparently, Treehouse has taken note of this problem and will work on getting it fixed. Chris Dziewa mentioned this in an earlier answer in the forums:

"Hopefully this clears things up for you: input:focus should not select your links, only the actual input elements like text and email fields, etc. To select the hyperlinks on focus, you would use the a:focus selector."
