The selector you are using says “target an element with a type attribute of file that is a child of an input element”. This is actually impossible because input elements are self-closing which means they can’t have child elements nested in them. Spaces matter when it comes to CSS. I would look at the submit element you recently styled to see how this should be done.

Also, the instruction say to make the padding 1px 2px.

And finally, you accidentally deleted the closing curly brace on the submit element.
