Lets say I want to target the lake image and the trees image for a red border. Can I give the selector 2 values?

Like:

img[src*="lake, trees"] { border-color: red; }

I believe the only way to select different elements based on different attribute values is as follows:

img[src*="lake"], img[src*="trees"] { border-color: red; }

Hope that helps!

You could give both images the same class and the change the border color using CSS.Ex:

<img scr="lake" class="img">
<img src="trees" class="img">

.img {
border-color: solid red;
}

Thanks for your advice, but this course was about styling elements without using id's / classes. So I was curious if you can do this without using a class.
