CSS CSS Selectors Going Further with Attribute Selectors and Pseudo-Classes Substring Matching Attribute Selectors Challenge

Problem with substring matching attribute selectors

I'm trying to create a selector that targets image elements whose title begins with "product-" to give the border a light blue color. Something isn't working because when I check my work I get the message "are you using a selector that targets image elements whose title begins with "product-"? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The challenge asks you to "create a selector that targets an img element if its title value begins with 'product-.'"

Your code is selecting all img elements whose src value begins with "product-". It should actually look like

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