Using line-height: 1.6; doesn't work.

It's uniteless and it shows up in the preview just fine, but it won't accept it.

MDN is telling me to use: /* Unitless values: use this number multiplied by the element's font size */ line-height: 3.5;

Which I am. But still not working.

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Lake Tahoe</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
  </head>
  <body> 
    <header id="top" class="main-header">
      <span class="title">Journey Through the Sierra Nevada Mountains</span>
      <h1>Lake Tahoe, California</h1>
    </header>
    <div class="primary-content t-border">
      <p class="intro">
        Lake Tahoe is one of the most <span>breathtaking attractions</span> located in California. It's home to a number of ski resorts, summer outdoor recreation, and tourist attractions. Snow and skiing are a significant part of the area's reputation.

      <a href="#more">Find out more</a>

You have a comma 1,25 instead of a full stop 1.25

Thanks John Cotter

It solved it. Though, in question 2 where I'm asked to define the 20px into em value, does it get accepted with a comma and not with a full stop. Not that it matters, I had to solve it in the next question.

Again, thanks :)
