Hey there,

Please update the message to include your code. The code was too long to be automatically inserted by the help button.

When you enter a code, please precede it with a separate line of three backticks and follow it with a separate line of three backticks to make it easier to read.

You can also use the “preformatted text” tool in the editor (</>) to add backticks around text.

See this post to find the backtick on your keyboard.
Note: Backticks (`) are not single quotes (').

which part of your code do you think satisfies this?

Look at your HTML. The span with a class of “one” also has another class. Your selector needs to handle that.

Isn’t this the part of the code that satisies this: span[class=“one”]:first-child

6

no, because that one matches only element that have only the one class not multiple classes like it’s the case for the elements you need to select

7

I updated my code to include the other class as well, but it is still not working:

span[class=“status one”]:first-child {
background-image: linear-gradient(to right skyblue, pink);
}

I don’t understand what I’m missing.

you need to use a modyfier that changes how the attribute is matched, you don’t need to change the value

Take a look at this MDN reference about attribute selectors. You should find your answer there. Remember, you’re looking for a word included in a class list.
