2,937 PointsWhy does the error about img element keep coming up?
Create a selector that targets an img element if its title value begins with "product-". Set the border color to lightblue.
My answer
img[src*="product"] { border-color: lightblue; }
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
img [src*="product"] {
border-color: lightblue;
}

231,198 PointsYou really shouldn't ask the same question more than once. And why not fix the things I've already pointed out? Here's the whole list again:
- the instructions say "title" but the attribute named here is "src"
- the instructions say "begins with" but the symbol used here means "contains"
- the instructions say "product-" but the string here is "product" (missing the "-" symbol)
- and now there's a stray space between the "img" tag and the bracket

2,937 Pointsyes I did try tilte^ but the answer was still the same targeting issue. I looked back in the to tutorial and src was the path. see my previous note. I believe that there must be a bug in the answer?
