targeting sub strings (code challenge)

not sure what is wrong with my code trying to target a image src starting with "product-".

this is the question: (code challenge)

Create a selector that targets an img element if its title value begins with "product-". Set the border color to lightblue.

img[src^="product-"] {
  background-color: lightblue;
}

this is the error i get:

Bummer! Are you using a selector that targets 'img' elements with a title value beginning with 'product-'?

Hi Steven,

You're trying to match the src attribute but it should be the title attribute.

Also, it wants you to set the border-color, not the background-color

Hi Steven, The question is to add border-color not the background-color. U just need to change it to border-color and everything will be fine. Hope this helps!
