3,935 PointsStructural Pseudo-classes Code Challenge
OK, so this is fairly basic stuff, but I'm not getting anywhere with the 3rd task on the Structural Pseudo-classes Code Challenge.
'Create a new rule that selects the first 4 list items only. Set the font weight to bold.'
To which I have used:
li:nth-child(-n+4) { font-weight:'strong'; }
This is not correct (Check the selector in your CSS.)...... but, I'm not sure why.
As, I say, I'm annoyed that I'm stumped at something so basic, but any pointers would be gratefully appreciated(!)

5,312 PointsI just revisited that code challenge and was playing around a bit. Even though the message you're getting says to check the selector, your selector is fine. It's the value for font-weight that's not right. As I was playing, I got the same "wrong selector" error message even with the correct selector so I think there is a little bug in the code challenge.
