Tell us what’s happening:

I have corrected the code as per reccomendation on the forum yet it is still not working!
Task is to set box-sizing to content-box explicitely using * as a selector.

Your code so far

without destroying the .gallery selector

please reset the step and place the new selector in a way that is not disturbing other selectors

3

In what way?Please explain further!

4

you wrote the new selector inside the .gallery selector, reset the step and do not write inside the .gallery selector

5

How should I write it?

6

what are you trying? do you have doubts on the css syntax? telling you what to write is against forum policy

7 
 * .gallery  {
  box-sizing: content-box;
}
8

If you are asked to use a star selector then you need to write that.
* {

  • .gallery * is a descendant selector. It is selecting all * elements that are inside an element with the .gallery class.
<section class="gallery">
  /* all descendant elements */
</section>

  • * .gallery is still a descendant selector, just the other way around. It is selecting all elements with the .gallery class, no matter what element it is located inside. It is also a redundant selector.

  • * on its own selects every element, no matter its position.
