I'm working through a code challenge and I'm near positive that I have the correct code and it still says that it's not.

I'm working through a code challenge and I'm near positive that I have the correct code and it still says that it's wrong. It's task 2 of 2 in stage 8 of responsive web design and testing. I will attach two screen shots for you to see.

Use some online hosting (Dropbox or something) to put it in there and post the URL here. That way people here can see what is your actual problem?

Hi! You've almost got it. Inside your media queries, you select elements just as you would in "regular" css. All curly braces- no parentheses needed (except when declaring the breakpoints of course). Try this:

@media screen and (min-width: 480px){
      body{
          background: navy;
         }
}

@media screen and (min-width: 660px){
       body{
           background: darkgreen;
         }
}

Woooow I can't believe I overlooked my very stupid mistake. haha I did not catch the parenthesis closing my background. It's always the smallest thing! Thanks so much for the help!
