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

How do I specify the font-size for title?

To my knowledge this is spot on yet the code challenge is telling me this is incorrect, can anyone help me?

style.css
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */

@media (max-width: 1020px) {

  .main-header {
  background-color: tomato;
    color: white;
  }

  @media(max-width: 768px){
    .title{
      font-size:1.4rem;
    }
    .h1{
      font-size:5rem;
    }

}
index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Lake Tahoe</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
  </head>
  <body> 
    <header id="top" class="main-header">
      <span class="title">Journey Through the Sierra Nevada Mountains</span>
      <h1 class="main-heading">Lake Tahoe, California</h1>
    </header>

        <div class="primary-content">
            <p class="intro">
                Lake Tahoe is one of the most breathtaking attractions located in California. It's home to a number of ski resorts, summer outdoor recreation, and tourist attractions. Snow and skiing are a significant part of the area's reputation.

            <a class="callout" href="#more">Find out more</a>
        </div><!-- End .primary-content -->
  </body>
</html>

Well, I don't think you can change the font size of a title. The title is just going to be the name that shows up in the browser's tab. Just a heads up though HTML tags don't have to be classes if you want to change the look of every tag on that page to the same thing for example if you want all your h1 elements to have a font size of 20px just drop the period in your CSS file like so I'm sure you knew I just saw your CSS file has .h1 in it.
h1{ font-size: 20px; } then that way you don't have to add a class or id attribute to your tags. Anyway hope this helps you out looks like you are doing well though. I feel the same as you it would be pretty cool if you could change the style of your titles.

David, in this challenge "title" is the class name of a span element. It's that element that you change the font size on.

You're close, but I see two issues:

  • the first media query is missing its final close brace
  • "h1" is a tag, not a class, so the selector should not have a period

Oh okay, thanks, Steven in that case I apologize.
