How is this wrong?

"Then, set the color to #ccc." input[type="password"] { color: #ccc; };

For some reason this code is not passing the challenge. Any idea why?

style.css
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */

img[title="avatar"] {
border-radius: 50%;
};

input[type="password"] {
color: #ccc;
};

Hey Marcus,

I'm going to guess you just came off a JavaScript run? :) Those pesky semi-colons get ya every time. Happens to all of us. :smiley:

:dizzy:

If you remove the semi-colons after each closing curley bracket, you pass the code challenge. Just tried it now and your code works fine:

img[title="avatar"] {
border-radius: 50%;
}

input[type="password"] {
color: #ccc;
}
