I am stuck here. Not sure what I am doing wrong. I added the before pseudo class and the content property but cant pass/

Next, in the second .progbar selector, add the pseudo-element that will insert content before the element. Don't forget to write the content declaration on line 13.

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */

.progbar::after {
  display: block;
  width: 50%;
  height: 100%;
  border-radius: inherit;
    background-color: #5ece7f; 
  content: "";

}

.progbar::before {
    display: block;
    width: 24px;
    height: 24px;
    border-radius: 50%;
    position: absolute;
    left: 49%;
    top: -9px;
    background-color: #7dd898; 
  content: " ";
}

.progbar {
  height: 6px;
  border-radius: 3px;
  background: #d6d7d9;
  position: relative;
  margin-bottom: 3.875em; 
}

Hi there! In the instructions of task 3 of 4 it explicitly states that the content property must be defined on line 13. It is there that the checker is looking for your task progress completion. If I paste in your code and then move the second rule up one line, I can then place the content rule on line 13. When I do this, your code passes!

:bulb: Challenges are very strict and instructions must be followed to the letter. Even if your code is functional outside the challenge, the challenge can fail if it does not meet the specified requirements.

Hope this helps! :sparkles:

Don't FORGET to put the content: ""; at line thirteen. :)
