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.

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */

.progbar a::after {
  display: block;
  width: 50%;
  height: 100%;
  border-radius: inherit;
    background-color: #5ece7f; 
}

.progbar {

    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; 
}

Hi Moyo,

You need to add the after pseudo-class to the selector. You added an anchor which is not needed.
