Not sure what i'm doing wrong here

I thought my code met the requirements of the question being asked in the challenge(4/4) but it's not letting me pass.

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

.progbar::after {
  content: attr(title);
  display: block;
  width: 50%;
  height: 100%;
  border-radius: inherit;
    background-color: #5ece7f; 
}

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

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

Hi, Ronald Greer.

The question is:

Finally, create a new rule that will insert a pseudo-element after an a element. As the content value, define a CSS function that will insert an href attribute's value as content.

So it wants you to select the a element and insert the href's attribute's value before it using content. With that being said, I think you can figure it out. But here's the answer:

a::after{
  content: attr(href);
}
