:point_right: The challenge pointed out that "The label isn’t using any CSS classes".

It also said "you can use the first method overload that accepts a single string parameter". But you used the form that takes two parameters, and you set a class that wasn't there before!

Also, you accidentally deleted the input line that follows the label.
