CSS parsing error and not understanding the components

Question

I am reading a codebase and trying to replicate it part by part. However I am getting a css parsing error for the following css line:

#pp:not([class*="pelwqu"]) #s199 {
  background-image: url("https://bgnmypdu.helldomain.oy.ne.ro");
}

Additionally, I did not get the components of this line. Can you explain which part is needed for what and why? Thank you.

What is giving your the parsing error and what exactly is the error message? There is nothing wrong with the CSS you have provided except I can't see that URL. If you still have problems please provide a runnable snippet so we can test for ourselves. — A Haworth

...and 'I did not get the components of this line' - there is no line in your question and by 'get' do you mean 'understand'? — A Haworth

This bit is basically correct although using something like this complex is a hackish solution at best and should not be encouraged.

It's applying a background image to an element with id="s199" that is inside of an element that has id="pp" but doesn't have a class that contains the string "pelwqu".
