Smaller screen size media queries inheriting padding, margin, etc. from larger screen size.

Working on media queries for different display widths. When I check things out in Chrome Developer Tools it appears that my media queries are inheriting padding, margins, etc. from the largest media query. In my smaller media queries, I have no way of changing the inherited properties to get my layout right. Any suggestions? Thx!!!

Could you post a snapshot of your code, or even better link it in the comments? It'll help with debugging it

Hi David,

Just remove the margins and padding on smaller display widths. This may help: https://www.w3schools.com/css/css_rwd_mediaqueries.asp
