only-of-type?

Create a new rule using the selector that targets an element only if its ID matches the hash in a URL. Set the background color to tomato.

I'm lost...I've tried the following...

:only-of-type(id="#") {background-color: tomato;

On a side note, it would be great if Treehouse would let you delete comments as well :)

Hi Justin,

:target {
background-color: tomato;
}

I believe this is what it wants. It wants to target the element with the ID the same as the hash of the URL.

We use the :target psuedoclass for this.
