How can I get the media queried to work? Plus how can I check this on multiple browsers?

.group:after { content: ""; display: table; clear: both; }

/* Media Queries -------------------- */

@media (max-width: 960px) { body: { background-color: royalblue;
} p { color: white; } }

The media query isn't changing the background color when I resize the window. I'm not sure which browser it's loading on either. When I click on the preview button at the top right it just pops up in a different window all by itself.

I tried to find it to open it up with safari, but can't locate the file when I use the search button. It shows 6 other files with the name index.html but those were other projects. So how can I open this in another browser to test it there?

Hi David

In your media query you have a ":" after the "body" tag, it should not be there.

@media (max-width: 960px) { 
 body { 
   background-color: royalblue;
  } 
  p { color: white; } 
}
