Challenge Task: Add Breakpoint for Devices

The Task assignment in "How to Make a Website Course" is:

Create a breakpoint for devices 480 pixels wide or larger. Inside the breakpoint, set the h1 font-size to 2.5em.

It wont accept my answer. I think I am doing the same thing the trainer did. Does anyone see a bug in my response:

'''CSS

@media screen and (min-width: 480px) {
h1 { font-size: 2.5em; } }

'''

Put it at the bottom of your CSS file

The reason is that it is reading your file from top to bottom, and if you have the media query before everything else that it is referencing it won't be able to execute what you want it to.

Hi Hamed, your code should look like this.

@media (min-width: 480px) {
  h1 {
    font-size: 2.5em; 
  } 
}

The problem was that your syntax was just slightly off. You don't need "screen and". You also need to use a colon after font-size to specify the font. so font-size: 2.5em; instead of font-size; 2.5em; The semicolon is like a period so when you use it after font-size it doesn't interpret the 2.5em with it.

Hi Trevor,

Thx for the quick response. Yeah thats exactly what I had - but I had added the "... screen and ... " text.

I even tried to copy and past your's but it still rejects it with this error message:

"Bummer! Did you change the h1 font-size to 2.5em for devices larger than 480px?"
