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

Why am I unable to take code challenges? I cannot seem to get a cursor started so that I can write the required code

I've gone back over some of the lessons and cannot seem to take any code challenges. Not sure why this is happening. Getting frustrated because up to Refractor Layout I'd been doing pretty well. I was unable to start the code challenge before that lesson and cannot seem to get other code challenges to work either.

I noticed this issue as well while going through the "How to build a website" course. As I was watching the videos I had two windows open side by side, one with the video player, the other with the workspace. When I got to the code challenge I noticed that the if I tried typing or clicking withing the code challenge screen nothing would happen. What seemed to fix it for me was making the window (with the code challenge) full screen or at least bigger than half of my screen.

I hope this solves your issue.

Thank you Christian, that was precisely the problem. When I applied you suggestion I was able to move forward.

Issue solved! Deeply appreciative, DeLaine
