Hi! I'm trying to write the second breakpoint of the responsive web design challenge and i can't seem to get it right.

I typed :

@media screen and (min-width:660px) {
  body {
    background-color: darkgreen;
  }
}

(even tried without the '-color') What am i doing wrong?

Hi Brenda,

Did you close off your previous 480px media query? This media query won't work if the previous one isn't closed off.

Hi Jason,

I did closed the previous media query. Also, I did it again and made sure the code was at the end of everything but it still thinks i did it wrong. I don't get it.

Ok, can you post both media queries? In other words, post all of the css that you have added but not what's already there.

It says: Bummer! Did you change the background color to darkgreen for devices larger than 660px?

And I typed:

@media screen and (min-width:480px) {
  body {
    background-color: navy;
  }
 @media screen and (min-width:660px) {
   body {
     background-color: darkgreen;
   }

You haven't closed off your media queries as Jason mentioned earlier, you should have the below.

@media screen and (min-width:480px) {
  body {
    background-color: navy;
  }
}

@media screen and (min-width:660px) {
  body {
    background-color: darkgreen;
  }
}
