Tell us what’s happening:

the instruction says i should have an attribute selector to target the span elements with the class of status and the span elements with the class value starting with rate.
i cant seem to find where i went wrong

are you sure that is what you are doing with this selector?

3

i know that the ^ is used to match the beginning of the class name, which in this case is “rate” and that i have targeted the span with a class of “status” correctly

4

The way you’ve written it, you are saying span[class^=“rate”] needs to be a descendant of span[class=“status”]. Instead, these are two separate selectors using the same property/value settings. What do you need to add to indicate that?

Happy coding
