Attribute Selector code challenge

Hi,

I'm sure the answer is glaringly obvious, but I can't figure out why the code to select the <a> element with a title attribute isn't:

a [title="More"] {}

Best regards,

Alisha

The code challenge is asking you to target any a tag with any title attribute. The selector you provided only selects a tags with a specific title attribute.

To select tags that have a specific attribute but any value for that attribute leave off the = like this:

a[title] {

}

Thanks Dave! I need to always remember that when I get it wrong, it's because I'm not reading the question properly. Appreciate your speedy response :)
