Hi Treehousers.
I have a problem regard the second challenge in Additional Pseudo Classes .
Challenge question: Create a new rule using the selector that targets an element only if its ID matches the hash in a URL. Set the background color to tomato.
I have tried following
:target([id="s2"]) { background-color: tomato; }
added a new selector in the HTML ect.
Please help me so I can proceed.
Best regards Christian

:target { background-color: tomato; }
Thanks

It's asking for a generic rule to color the background "tomato" if the element's ID is the same as that in the URL hash.
i.e. the rule should allow for any ID that matches the hash (not only one ID).
hint: you don't need to add anything to the HTML
