I keep getting a green check mark which shows correct, but I get the bummer comment that says I am wrong. I have tried different things and it still does the same thing which is not helping me figure out what is correct, nor will it allow me to pass the quiz.

Please help!!

Wow, I've never seen a green check mark with "Bummer" together!
Which of the 6 questions gives you that response, and what answer are you giving to make it appear?

I tried all those answers and wasn't able to replicate the green check mark. I only got the red "X" along with "Bummer", which is what I would expect.

But for getting the correct answer, let's look at the question: "Use an attribute selector to assign an element with a data attribute of data-close ...". So the name of the attribute we want is "data-close", and an attribute selector is made up of an attribute name enclosed in brackets [].

I'll bet you can get it now, but write again if you still have trouble.

Happy coding!

This is the question,

Consider the following HTML code:

<button type="button" class="close" data-close="modal">

Use an attribute selector to assign an element with a data attribute of data-close to the variable closeBtn:

var closeBtn = document.querySelector('');

THE ANSWERS I PUT WERE, var closeBtn = document.querySelector('data-closebtn '); var closeBtn = document.querySelector('data-button'); var closeBtn = document.querySelector('data-modal');
