Jason,

The challenge wants the begins with attribute selector ^=

img[title ^="product-"] {
border-color: lightblue;
}

Hi,

You need to use the begins with selector ^= found in this video

For example:

a[href^="http:"] {
  color: lightblue;
}

This will target any links that have a href attribute that begins with http. e.g

<a href="http://www.google.com">Google</a>
<a href="#home">Home</a>

In this case the Google link will be light blue, Home won't be.

Hope this helps :)
