Code challenge does not recognize when I added font-size to my code.

I am doing a Code challenge right now and one of the things it want me to do is to write out the font-size to 0.9em. When I write it out it says that I did not do it. Can someone show me the right way?

ex. font-size: 0.9em;

That is how i wrote it out.

Did you add braces? For example ...

p {font-size:0.9em;}

Oh sorry...

I wrote it out as

h3 { font-size: 0.9em; }

This is an example of what the code should look like. The element selector that you use might be slightly different though depending on your code:

h1 {
    font-size: 0.9em;
}

Yes I wrote the code as: Oh sorry...

I wrote it out as

h3 { font-size: 0.9em; }

I am a little confused and in the same situation.

Trying to get the the font size in an h1

h1, { font-family: 'open sans', sans-serif; font-size: 1.75em; font-weight: normal; }

Hi Mike. Try removing the comma after h1 and see if it works :)
