Media Features and Media Types Challenge Error

Hi there! I seem to be having an issue with getting a code challenge to recognize my code as being correct, even though I seem to have done everything right.

The Challenge:

Next, create a new media query that sets the body element's background color to #4682B4 if the viewport width is 480px or less.

My Code:

@media screen and (max-width: 480px) {
  body {
    background-color: #4682B4;
  }

Everything seems alright to me, but it keeps kicking back the error: "Bummer! Did you specify the right background color?"

I've double and triple checked on different web browsers and had someone else do it on their account. Same issue. Any ideas?

Thanks for the help in advance!

Hi Lena!

The code you posted seems to be missing a bracket "}" ;) Is it missing in your code challenge code as well?

Cheers~

That fixed it! There was a missing "}" in my first section of code that was mixing itself up with my second statement.

Thank you very much! I'll be sure to watch my closing statements more carefully in the future.

Thanks again! :)
