Tell us what’s happening:

Hello, I am having the common issue with the 17th test. I have read various threads on this but seem to be missing something. Thank you in advance for any insight!

Your code so far

what is test 17 for? what is the relevant part of your code?

Apologies for my lack of information!

Failed:17. You should use the :checked pseudo-class on radio buttons to change the text color of the associated label when the option is selected.

The relevant part of my code would be:

CSS
input[type=“radio”]:checked + label{
color: green;
}

I am getting the intended result in the preview, but am still failing the test.

what about the html? are the label and input linked correctly?

Ahh I see the error, and it works now! I was going crazy reading so many things and it was a easier fix than I was thinking..

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction!
