Tell us what’s happening:
Describe your issue in detail here.

I’m being told

Prompt: To make the input and textarea elements blend in with the background theme, set their background-color to #0a0a23. Then, give them a 1px, solid border with a color of #0a0a23.

Test - Sorry, your code does not pass. Keep trying.

Hint - You should give the input and textarea elements a background-color of #0a0a23.

I thought I coded it correctly, but I’m guessing not. Could someone nudge me in the right direction? Thanks!

i believe the problem is the quotes you have around the values in the border property
Try removing these

A genius. So just for the reasoning, when you’re coding something, like that line of code, it’s not appropriate to have it in quotation marks? Rather just the value with a space for each different value? Is it like that for other attributes? Or just certain ones? Again, thank you!

Honestly it is hard to remember all these rules if you are not coding in CSS everyday. I just take my cue from the rest of the code (look at all the other rules, none of them have quotes). Or I just google (my search statement would be css border property).

Gochya. So just time to get used to it.
