CSS CSS Basics (2014) Enhancing the Design With CSS Media Queries

Code challenge: My code looks correct, but I'm getting an error.

I can't see what's wrong with my code:

@media (max-width: 768px) { .title { font-size: 1.4rem; } .h1 { font-size: 5rem; } }

The third part of the challenge says to target the h1 element and set its font size to 5rem. My error says, "Bummer! Did you specify the correct font size for the h1 element?"

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */

@media (max-width: 1020px) {
  .main-header {
    background-color: tomato;
    color: white;
  }
}

@media (max-width: 768px) {
  .title {
    font-size: 1.4rem;
  }
  .h1 {
    font-size: 5rem;
  }
}

I guess you don't need to add the dot after h1 element:

  @media (max-width: 768px) {
  .title {
    font-size: 1.4rem;
  }
  h1 {
    font-size: 5rem;
  }
}

Thanks, Fernando! That was my problem: h1 is an element, not a class.
