Unable to apply CSS to form label

HTML & CSS
1

I’m getting some strange results when attempting to apply a style to a form label.

My CSS


label {
display: inline-block;
width: 90px;
text-align: right;
color: #666;
background: #f5f5f5;
}

However with my browser inspector, the label tag appears empty


label {
}

I’ve removed all styesheets and javascript (just in case) and I’m still getting the same result. In fact when I try to type the style into the label tag within Chrome’s inspector, it doesn’t save the result. When I try to do the same within Firefox’s inspector, it works although Firefox also renders the label tag as un-styled when initially loaded.

Any suggestions?

Well I’ll ****ing be. Apparently I had some invisible gremlins preventing the CSS from rendering correctly.
