HTML How to Make a Website Responsive Web Design and Testing Write CSS Media Queries

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

The challenge only gives the css/main.css page to work in. The actual topic was not shown in css/main.css. So how can I possibly answer the question? It also has an @ sign, which I've not seen in the css/main.css page.

Hi Sarah,

Because of css's cascading nature, you can just place your media query (break point) at the bottom of the main.css page.

The code you need is as follow:

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

Though I do recommend checking out this course http://teamtreehouse.com/library/responsive-layouts just to get you up to 'scrath' with media queries.

Hope this helps

Thank you! That's so odd.. I swear I did that the first time and got denied. I also think the directions of the challenges are lacking in clear communication.

When I do these challenges and quizzes I treat them as open-book tests. If I don't happen to remember right off the top of my head I'll re-watch the video or Google for the answer. In this case, re-watching the video will really help you out.

Thank you, but I did and it didn't help at all, because code is often written differently in different pages; html, css, etc. They never showed the code in the window they gave for the challenge. Thanks for the Google tip. :)

Removed the "screen and" and it worked at the bottom of the page

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