Break Points are not Showing. Please help.

Here is my code on responsive.css and below that is on the index.html. What am I doing wrong? @media screen and (min-width: 480px) { body { background: navy; } }

@media screen and (min-width: 660px) { body { background: darkgreen; }
}

One thing to double check is that you have the correct link to your responsive.css page in your index.html page. Have you tried applying a basic style like making the body blue (regardless of width)? Otherwise your code looks good I believe.

html <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="css/responsive.css">

Do you have the body tag?

The code should work fine unless you do not have a body tag or if you have any html element above it!

And inside your <head> tag make sure you are linking to the correct path of responsive.css.

Hello,

Sorry it took forever for me to get back to you all. I don't know if it was an issue with caching or what the issue was. The problem corrected itself after trying it in Firefox, and Safari. Lesson learned: ALWAYS cross browser test. All is well!

Thanks,

matt
