I am trying to complete the code challenge at the moment but cannot find the error in my syntax! Any help is appreciated?
h1 { font-size: 2.5em; }
p { font-size: 1.5em; }
html { font-size: 16px; }
a .more { font-size= 1rem; }

7,252 PointsThanks for your time! Yeah I see that what an amateur mistake I'll need to double check my syntax more thoroughly, However, even with that change it's still somehow incorrect!

7,252 PointsHi guys I thought I'd let you know that I have solved the problem!! It was to do with the 'rem' value it should actually be '1rem' and it works so again thanks for your help anyway!
Timothy Crandall
4,354 PointsLol, well you had 1rem in your original post! Glad you got it though!

html { font-size: 16px; }as well! No need for it.Michael Pare

6,358 PointsI think the exercise actually does want you to use the a, but it needs to be formatted as a.more no a .more

4,354 PointsI did it without a .more and it passed, I however did not include the html font size line because it is unnecessary. I hope this helps! :)

7,252 PointsThanks for your help guys but it's still not working! I tried all the suggestions you made but no luck! I use google chrome so I tried it in IE but still no luck! I'll just have to keep working away at it!
h1 { font-size: 2.5em; }
p { font-size: 1.5em; }
a.more { font-size: rem; }
