Hi Kris

Have you thought about the CSS pseudo class ":target"?

URLs with an # followed by an anchor name, link to a certain element within a document. The element being linked to is the target element. The :target selector can be used to style the current active target element.

Example:

For example, if the URL was http://www.teamtreehouse.com/index.html**#section2**, the :target selector would match the element that had an id attribute of "section2":

:target { background-color: etc.... }

Hope this gives you the right hint. Good luck with the challenge.

Cheers, Carsten
