ul not disappearing with media queries

Hi guys, so basically as far as I understood the code all looks the same as Andrew's .

However Im stuck in the early part of the video, since when the media queries were applied the select and button did disappear and appear correctly but did not take place of ul when in reduced widths. 

@media (min-width: 320px) and (max-width: 568px){

#menu ul {
  display:none;
  }
}

@media (min-width: 568px) {
  #menu select, #menu button {
    display:none;
  }
}

I ran into this issue as well. It took me a little while but I eventually figured out that my commenting in the CSS file was the incorrect format using "// Comment here" instead of the CSS commenting of "/* Comment Here */".

I had the exact same issue. Using Chrome on Windows 7. Michael's solution worked for me. Thanks!

I am also having the same issue currently. I placed the correct commets also. Neither of my media queries are working.
