Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 11,638 Points:empty
In the video Guil is saying , if we need to target elements, that have no child elements, or content what so ever, we can use the empty structural pseudo class, but we can see , only list item 7 has been effected that has no content. My question is why those "list" elements doesn't get affected that doesn't have "span" element as such list items do not have any child too.

The reason the li
elements with just text don't get selected is because they count as content. Text in HTML can be referred to as text nodes also.
Hope this helps.
