638 Pointsforms challenge
I am taking the final challenge for the first section in the html forms class with nick petit. I am trying to add the option value red yellow blue green ext. for some reason the first option value in the list appears in faded gray letters. I copy and pasted the first option to the end of the list and it appered to be hilighted in the correct colors at the bottom of the list. but for some reason it won't recognise the code if it is the first option in the list. Its the same code from top to bottom. am i missing something here?
