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

@media query. I'm not sure why I keep getting errors.

I am getting the bummer response once again asking if I've changed the background color to navy. This is what I've typed

@media screen and (max-width: 480px) { background: navy; } maybe it's placement.

Also a question about course management. When I go back to the course I often find myself back to where I started from the previous day. How do I save my place in the track (book mark)?

Your position in the track should auto save, I'm not sure why it isn't.

Hi Gabrielle,

you are not specifying any elements to set background color for

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

check your question again, it will tell you what element to work with, then add it inside @media section

for example:

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

You're missing a selector. It asks to change the background of the 'body' to navy. You've got the background to navy part and the media query part but missing the part that tells it to apply the color to the 'body'. Hope that helps.

P.S. I made the same mistake a couple times before I figured it out.
