I Need Help: Loosing My Mind on a CSS quiz

...Literally!!! Lol

I want my badge for Advanced Selectors but I'm failing my quiz...

I'm stuck on these 2 questions:

  1. The asterisk character is used to select an element whose attribute value contains at least one instance of the specified substring.

  2. The caret character is used to select an element whose attribute value ends with the specified substring.

Those are my answers but I could be wrong... I've been reviewing the video with Guil all day... He's cute but I wanna move on and see a new face... Lol... Help me please if your willing.

Thanks In Advance, Loni J.

you just need to put the symbols instead of typing the actual words so the answer to 1 would be * and the answer to 2 is $

@Loni, you are wrong a $ means at the end of a string, whereas a ^ means at the beginning of a string.

In the question on the quiz they are asking for the symbols themselves and not the words for the symbols as @Robbie alluded to.

A great reference for CSS selectors is the blog post The 30 CSS Selectors you Must Memorize
