Challenge Task 1 of 4

Let's use pseudo-elements to create a progress bar from a single element. First, in the top .progbar selector, add the pseudo-element that will insert content after the element.

ok, so we need to turn the top selector of progbar into a psuedo classΒ  just change

       .progbar {

display: block; width: 50%; height: 100%; border-radius: inherit; background-color: #5ece7f; }

to

       .progbar:after {

display: block; width: 50%; height: 100%; border-radius: inherit; background-color: #5ece7f; }
