Media query / is it working? (challenge)

having some trouble with this challenge...

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

I'm writing it, but there seems to be something incorrect. Any suggestions?

It seems like @media is not being recognized

Andres,

The challenge is asking you to create a breakpoint for 480px and wider, meaning you need to use min-width. Also, you didn't specify what element you wanted to apply that style to. You want this:

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

Happy coding!

Erik
