It looks like you've got the right idea, but the challenge is asking you to add the pseudoelement selctors in very specific places.
The first task is to add the after
pseudo element to the first progbar
selector, in your code it's on the third. Then in the third task we're asked to add the before
pseudo element to the second progbar selector. There's also instruction reminding us "Don't forget to write the content declaration on line 13."
While you've added the before
pseudo element you've left off the content declaration. You also have "root"
instead of ""
(blank) in your after
content declaration, and as mentioned earlier, the challenge is expecting after
in the first item, not the third.
e.g.
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
.progbar::after {
display: block;
width: 50%;
height: 100%;
border-radius: inherit;
background-color: #5ece7f;
content: "";
}
.progbar::before {
content: "";
display: block;
width: 24px;
height: 24px;
border-radius: 50%;
position: absolute;
left: 49%;
top: -9px;
background-color: #7dd898;
}
.progbar {
height: 6px;
border-radius: 3px;
background: #d6d7d9;
position: relative;
margin-bottom: 3.875em;
}
Cheers,
Eric

But it looks like you added the pseudo-element to the last selector instead of the top one. The validator may not have caught that until you got to the 3rd task.
