CSS CSS Selectors Advanced Selectors :not() – The Negation Pseudo-Class

input:not([type="submit"]) rendering invalid property value in chrome console?

My input:not([type="submit"]) is rendering a invalid property value in chrome? 

:root {
    background: #e3ffbd;
}

:target {
    background: #384047;
    color: white;
}

#col-c:target {
    background: #eff1f2;
    color: initial;
    box-shadow: 0 0 6px rbga(0,0,0, .2);
}

input:not([type="submit"]) {
    box-shadow: inset 0 2px 0 rbga(0,0,0, .15);
}

Is this a browser issue or a code issue? If it is a browser issue how do I fix it?

ps I only have chrome and internet explorer on this computer and neither browser is rendering my css properly.

Thanks in advance!

Glad I could help :) I find that when I have an issue like this, if I google it and there is nothing similar but it should work, I most often have misspelled something. I actually spotted the error because I originally posted here saying I had the same problem, but when looking at my pasted code I spotted the issue. When you post, when you use the 3 ` marks, add the word css (or w/e language you are using) after the first set to add markup in your post. It ends up like:

:root {
    background: #e3ffbd;
}

:target {
    background: #384047;
    color: white;
}

#col-c:target {
    background: #eff1f2;
    color: initial;
    box-shadow: 0 0 6px rbga(0,0,0, .2);
}

input:not([type="submit"]) {
    box-shadow: inset 0 2px 0 rbga(0,0,0, .15);
}
