Tell us what’s happening:

  1. You should use the :checked pseudo-class on radio buttons to change the text color of the associated label when the option is selected. i have been building job application and have encountered the error, have tried all possibilities but the error still persists

Thank you! I’ve been having the same problem, but this has resolved the issue. How does one know that having a transition would affect the code’s ability to pass the tests? I would have never figured that out on my own… :confused:
