"Apply font to CSS using the font-family attribute. Use a sans-serif fallback." <-- Did so, challenge tells me I'm wrong

In the second step of the CSS challenge where you're applying custom fonts, the challenge is asking me to apply my font to my CSS, while also using a sans-serif fallback. When I do this, however, the challenge tells me I'm wrong, even after checking it against my own (working) code in the workspace multiple times. HALP!

Kasey- Can you post your code?

1) Kathleen, that was literally the quickest forum response I have ever received anywhere, ever. You win! :D

2) Here's all my CSS from that challenge:

a { text-decoration: none; }

wrapper {

max-width: 940px; margin: 0 auto; }

logo {

text-align: center; margin: 0; }

h1, h2 { color: #fff; }

nav a { color: #fff; }

nav a:hover { color: #32673f; }

h1 { font-family: 'Open Sans Condensed' sans-serif; }

The last part is what matters; it connects to the font link in the HTML. The challenge is telling me I'm forgetting the sans-serif fallback, but you can clearly see it there.

I'd add a screenshot for you, but I'm new here, and I don't know how. My apologies.

You're missing a comma between the Open Sans and the fallback serif.

I totally missed the part where Nick even used a comma there in the video. Thank you so much, guys! :D

Try

h1 { font-family: 'Open Sans Condensed', sans-serif; }
