Could Some Please Help Explain Style Text Inputs as Form Controls (#75) Problem?

I got half of this lesson right, but can’t figure out how to solve with my current code
—Add a within your submit button element and the.
—Give the text input in your form the class form-control

Below is my code:

  .thick-green-border {
    border-color: green;
    border-width: 10px;
    border-style: solid;
    border-radius: 50%;
  }

</style>

You forgot the "s around the class name and you have a typo in it.

Hi,

Thanks for answering.

I placed in the missing hypen for the form control . Is that the typo?

However, could you please show me the line where I forgot the "s around the class name because what I’m trying is still not working?

Thanks.

When you add a class to an element it needs to be

<elementName class="classname">stuff</elementName>

Look at the places where you added a class and see if you can spot the difference.

I know some of the questions that I ask probably sound stupid, but this is all completely new to me. I even got out a library book on bootstap and have been trying to help myself understand. The only problem is that some things the way they do things are different in the book. However, I truly appreciate any and all help because I want to really learn this. Thank you again so much!
