Media queries

I'm having an issue with this code challenge. I believe I have the correct CSS for the media query but they are saying my answer is incorrect. It is giving me the message, "Did you specify the right width?" Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

Challenge Task: Create a media query that sets the width of .wrap to 700px when the viewport is 800px or wider.

My Answer: @media screen and (min-width:800px){ wrap{ width:700px;} }

Hey Jennifer,

You need to add a "." before the wrap selector...see below:

@media screen and (min-width: 800px) {
  .wrap {
      width: 700px;
    }
}
