11,273 PointsCode Challenge: Pseudo-Elements Challenge Stage 3 Advanced Selectors
Can anyone assist me in with these 1 of 4 tasks? having trouble Challenge Task 1 of 4
Let's use pseudo-elements to create a progress bar from a single element. First, in the top .progbar selector, add the pseudo-element that will insert content after the progbar element.
Challenge Task 2 of 4
In the same rule, add the property that lets us insert content into an element. The value should be an empty set of quotes.
Challenge Task 3 of 4
Next, in the second .progbar selector, add the pseudo-element that will insert content before the progbar element. Don't forget to write the content declaration on line 13.
Challenge Task 4 of 4
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.
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
.progbar {
display: block;
width: 50%;
height: 100%;
border-radius: inherit;
background-color: #5ece7f;
}
.progbar {
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;
}

20,305 PointsYou're having trouble with the first task or all of the tasks?
The first task is asking you to change the entire selector from .progbar to something that would insert content after the progress bar.
this looks like this;
.progbar::after {
display: block;
width: 50%;
height: 100%;
border-radius: inherit;
background-color: #5ece7f;
}
After this, all before and after psuedo elements require you to have a certain attribute within their declaration, or else they will not run. They need something to inseert before or after, and this is done through adding the "content" attribute.
I think the remaining tasks may become easier after solving these two.

6,990 PointsFrank, it's actual a simple solution that made me mad once I got it.
You literally just need to add the style property for your Content and then leave the properties blank.
SPOILERS Below just in case you can't solve it.
.progbar::after { content: ""; display: block; width: 50%; height: 100%; border-radius: inherit; background-color: #5ece7f; }
