Attribute selector "begins-with", using img[title^="product-"], problems setting border-color. [SOLVED]

I believe that I am using the correct attributes selectors and attributes and arguments, however, it keeps coming up incorrect. Please help.

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
img [title^="product-"] {
  border-color: lightblue;
}

Hi Joel,

The space that you have after img is creating a descendant selector. You want to remove the space so that the attribute selector applies to the img element.

Sometimes it can be hard to see problems like that no matter how long you stare at it. Don't beat yourself up about it. :)
