CSS CSS Basics (2014) Understanding Values and Units Pixels and Percentages

Changing font size in CSS using px

My challenge question is "Create a new rule that selects the h2 element. Set the font size to 53 pixels."

This is my answer: h2 { font-size: 53px; }

The challenge keeps giving me an error stating "Bummer! Make sure you're setting font size to 53 pixels."

Am I using the selector wrong?

I'm not sure whats going on Leighanne, I just passed the challenge using the following code which looks exactly like your code above.

.title {
  font-size: 26px;
}
 h2 {
  font-size: 53px; 
}

Make sure that your code is exactly as you posted it. Often there is a small typo somewhere in the answer. You also need to place it in the right spot in the challenge.

Thank you for your help :) I don't know what the deal was but I decided to give it one more try and I pasted my answer in exactly as I had pasted it here for you guys and it took it. shrug Anyway, thanks again for the quick responses.
