I see you started entering your attribute selector on the same line as your opening style tag. It’s good practice to start a new tag on a new line.

Your syntax looks good, just missing a semi-colon at the end. I’d suggest resetting your code and try again. If you copy and paste your selector, retype all the brackets. I find things can get a little buggy and you have to play with it a few times to pass.

Hi @nickychi,

Know that your code is good, as suggested before you should just indent well the code for better visibility and debug purposes. Also, the semicolon for the last instruction of a CSS rule is not compulsory but strongly recommended. It is my personal advice.

To talk about the issue you have, it is really tricky. You have an issue with your square brackets. I don’t really know how to show you but let me try.

Do you see the syntax color for type? The difference between yours and the class example? There is kind of space for each of your square brackets:

Do you see when we try to select? You can try yourself even with the arrows of the keyboard. Did you type the square brackets or you copied/pasted them?
