I have trouble getting the Media Query working

@media (max-width: 320px) { .navigation li { font-size: 2px; } header{ max-width: 40%; } }

In the HTML, I have the following Meta Tag <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width" />

But yet, i do not see any impact the width is 320px or below

Check that the media query comes after any other CSS rules that might override it.

I have placed the media query at the extreme bottom of the CSS file

To facilitate a complete analysis, make a snapshot of your workspace and post the link to it here.

For some reason, mine wasn't working when I included the "all" keyword after @media. When I removed "all", mine started working.

@media (max-width: 1024px){ }

I'm not used to seeing "all" used as a media type, since the rule would apply to all types by default. But if you do specify a media type, you would need the word "and" between it and the condition.

@media all and (max-width: 1024px) { }
