Enlighten me. Please. I think I'm correct, but it says otherwise.

Greetings,

I’m hoping someone can enlighten me. I swear I have this correct, but it keeps giving me the prompt “Bummer! Did you specify the correct font size for the h1 element?”

Yes, to me it seems I have. Below is the exact problem, and my solution.

“Next, create a new media query that targets all devices when the viewport width is 768px or narrower. Inside the media query, target the .title element and set the font-size to 1.4rem. Finally, target the h1 element and set its font-size to 5rem.”

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

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

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
@media (max-width: 1020px) {
  .main-header {
      background: tomato;
      color: white;
  }
}

@media (max-width: 768px) {
  .title {
    font-size: 1.4rem;
  }
  .h1 {
    font-size: 5rem;
  }
}
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 class="main-heading">Lake Tahoe, California</h1>
    </header>

        <div class="primary-content">
            <p class="intro">
                Lake Tahoe is one of the most breathtaking attractions 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.
            </p>
            <a class="callout" href="#more">Find out more</a>
        </div><!-- End .primary-content -->
  </body>

To answer my own question:

Solution: Change HTML from <h1 class="main-heading">Lake Tahoe, California</h1> to <h1 class="h1">Lake Tahoe, California</h1>

OR

Change CSS from .h1 { font-size: 5rem; } to .main-heading { font-size: 5rem; }

This was just the kind error detection problem that makes Treehouse a great place to learn.

Yo Corey your solution is still wrong

You can directly modify html tags with css, you just omit the dot in front.

looks like:

/* This is a class selector */
.class {
    property: attribute;
}
/* This is a tag selector */
tag {
    property: attribute;
}

In your problem, you'd just write:

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