Not sure what I'm missing here. I keep getting the answer wrong. a[target="title"] { color: darkred; }

a[target="title"] { color: darkred; }

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>

<head>
    <title>Attribute Selectors</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">

Hi Julia,

Something like this, example:

[title] {
    color: darkred;
}

Just remove < a > element, you can do title attribute with darkred value.
