Question about Pixels and Percentages Challenge

I seem to be stuck on Question One of the P and P Challenge. The question asks "Let's make the <span> element with the class "title" larger. Increase its font size to 26 pixels."

My answer is:

span title { font-size: 26px; }

This seems correct to me, but the computer returns the following:

"Bummer! Make sure you're setting 'font-size' to 26 pixels."

What am I missing?

Thanks!

A selector of "span title" would target a <title> element that is inside a <span> element. But of course this would never occur because <title> elements are only found in the <head> section, and <span>'s in the <body>.

But the selector for a <span> element with the class "title" would be "span.title" (with a period instead of a space).

Yes that worked. I understand what I did wrong now. Thank you!
