Remove the space between input & []

<style>
This:

input[type='password']{color:#CCC}

Instead of:

input [type='password']{color:#CCC}
</style>

NO, How, guyz, do you remember how you got it to go, its SIMPLE and it won't budge, Over and Over "Make sure you're setting the color to '#ccc'." img[title="avatar"] { border-radius: 50%; } }

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