CSS CSS Basics (2014) Enhancing the Design With CSS Media Query Basics

The last @media is not working on my site.

For some reason it's not applying to the site. Ive triple checked it and cant seem to find the problem. Its probably a simple mistake but I have no clue on how to fix it.

Could you show your code?

Looks like you're missing a closing bracket on your 2nd media query:

@media (max-width: 480px) { body { background: darkred; } <---- needs another }

BTW, if you write your media queries on multiple lines, it can make it easier to catch little mistakes like this.

Example:

@media (max-with: 480px) {
    body {background: darkred;}
}

I hope that helps! :-)

yeah of course,

I've had a number of issues where I know my code is right but it just won't work (in Safari), but if I switch to Chrome it works perfectly. This was one of those times...

@media (max-width: 480px) { body { background: darkred; }

you may need to put } at the end?
