CSS CSS Selectors Selectors - Beyond the Basics Attribute Selectors Challenge

Hi, where did I go wrong in creating an attribute selector for an image with the title avatar?

I know I was supposed to create a border-radius of 50% for this project but I'm not sure where I went wrong.

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
img [title="avatar"] {
  border-radius: 50%;
}
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Selectors</title>
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
  <link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Nunito:400,300' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="base.css">
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
</head>
<body>
    <div id="container">
        <form class="form-contact">
        <img src="avatar.png" title="avatar" alt="">

          <label for="un">Username:</label> 
          <input type="text" id="un">

        <label for="pw">Password:</label>
        <input type="password" id="pw">

          <input type="submit" value="Sign up">
        </form>
    </div>
</body>
</html>

Hi Alisha,

You're super-close! You just need to remove the space between your selector and the brackets:

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
img[title="avatar"] {
  border-radius: 50%;
}

When you're defining selectors, spaces are meaningful in CSS. With the space there, you're telling the browser to target an element [title="avatar"] (which isn't an element!) that's nested within an img tag. Removing the space tells the browser you want to target img tags with the attribute in the brackets.
