Media Query on Code Challenge

I need help with this one. 

#menu {
  ul {
    li {
      @media screen and (max-width: 500px){
        text-align: center;
      }
    }
  }
}

Your code should look something like that.

@media screen and (max-width: 500px) {

.menu ul li {
text-align: center;
}
}

Hope that helped :)

Looks like you referenced the "menu" class while Diane was referencing the id instead, not sure which one is actually right since I don't know the code challenge specifically, but that is kind of a crucial difference.

Hi Diane,

The only issue is that the ul is the element with the id of "menu". You have it set up as if the ul is within another element that has an id of menu.

You would want to use ul#menu or #menu and remove the nested ul block.

#menu {
  li {
    @media screen and (max-width: 500px) {
      text-align: center;
    }
  }
}

Still getting bummer error, even with that.

Open a scope on an <ul> with the ID menu. Inside that, open a scope on a <li> element. Using Sass nesting, add a media query so that the <li> elements will have an attribute of text-align: center when the media is screen and the <li> has a max-width of 500px.

I tried to follow word for word, but it gets pretty confusing.

oh very strange!

I'll try to figure out an answer for you but I know what you mean it could be confusing at times.
