Assistance with media query challenge

Question: Create a breakpoint for devices 480 pixels wide or larger. Inside the breakpoint, set the h1 font-size to 2.5em.

My answer:

@media screen and (min-width: 480px) { h1 { font-size: 2.5em; } }

This is isn't being accepted as a valid answer. Could anyone assist?

Thanks!

@media screen and (min-width: 480px) {
  h1 {

  }
}

Hi Konrad,

That worked. i think the font-size was being reset further down the page.

Thanks for your help.

Well, you should put your media queries on the bottom i 'think' .

Correct, media queries go at the end. Remember this to save yourself some sanity!
