Hi Rachel,

I find ^symbol which is not correct, I assume we should use $ symbol for the question - "Next, create a new selector that targets an a element if its href value ends with ".html". Set its text-decoration to none."

-^ tells the browser to match a piece of code that’s at the beginning of an attribute's value

-$ matches a piece at the end of an attribute's value.

-* matches any part of an attribute's value

/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */

img[title^="product-"] {
border-color: lightblue;
}

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

You need to put a $ for your second question because it is suppose to be "ENDS" with not begins with. so . . a[href$=".html"] { text-decoration: none; }
