textarea not receiving descendant CSS property [closed]

Question

I have the CSS setting:

.missing textarea {background-color: #fffcc !important;}

And the html looks like so:

<div id="label-add" class="jscript xtra-box sub-question missing">
<p>Additional Health Care Instructions</p>
<textarea id="addrule" name="addrule"></textarea>
</div>

It uses the XHTML 1.0 transitional DOCTYPE.
And, I've tried in FF and Chrome, and I'm not getting the textarea's background-color; it's not even showing up as overwritten in the debug console...

Answer 1

The color is missing a char. "#fffcc" needs one more char.

Answer 2

Your hex colour definition has only five digits. Can you try a full one with six?

Everything else looks in order to me.

Answer 3

#fffcc is missing one character
