Hi Henry,

You are having the error because you are using opening angle brackets in place of closing angle brackets: 

/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */

img[title^="product-"] {
  border-color: lightblue;
  {  //You are using opening angle brackets here instead of closing '}'

a[href$=".html"] {
  text-decoration: none; 
  { //same here

Modify your code like this and it should work fine: 

/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */

img[title^="product-"] {
  border-color: lightblue;
  } //change this to a closing angle bracket 

a[href$=".html"] {
  text-decoration: none; 
  } //change this to a closing angle bracket

Cheers!
