3,618 PointsAttribute selector - stuck!
I am trying to work through the code challenge: "more selectors" and I can't get passed the question "Use an attribute selector to select the <a> element with the 'title' attribute. Give it a color property with a value of red. I've tried a few things like: a[class~="title"]{color: #FF0000} or a[href~="title"]{color: #FF0000} and so on and I can't get it to work and I can't figure out what I am doing wrong? any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated!

Maybe this will help you: http://css-tricks.com/attribute-selectors/

Remember that title is the attribute. The solutions you tried you have title as the value of the attribute you are searching for.
