Guys,
I spent 25 minutes to figure it out what's wrong with my code ?
This is the good version:
a[href^="http:"] {
color: #52bab3;
text-decoration: none;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: 18px 18px;
padding-left: 25px;
}
This is wrong:
a [href^="http:"] {
color: #52bab3;
text-decoration: none;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: 18px 18px;
padding-left: 25px;
}
Hope it will help for some student

Attaching or removing the space as you said now changes your selector to actually look for an anchor with a specific href.
It's tricky sometimes :D
Happy coding anyways

a [href^="http:"]
