I don't understand. My code seems perfect:
Q: "Set the size of you H1 to 1.75 em and the weight to normal"
A:
h1 { font-size: 1.75em; font-weight: normal; }
It's telling me I'm incorrect and to make sure my font size is set to 1.75 em. Can someone please offer some clarity, because I've exhausted all other possibilities other than there being a bug in the quiz. Much appreciated.

2,437 PointsTry removing the space between the colon and the numeric value.

2,745 PointsYour syntax is correct... css is cascading in nature, so check the placement of your code. Also, don't forget to switch to the style.css page on top, you may be in index.html. If not refresh the quiz and try again in a better spot.

19,287 PointsHi Brady,
Sometimes the code challenge error messages are less than perfect. In the code you're showing I noticed that the font-family rule is missing. Did you remove it in the code challenge?

Joseph Pietras
2,437 PointsBrady, Can you post your html and CSS.
Brady Savage
2,021 PointsYup, here's the CSS:
Brady Savage
2,021 Pointsa { text-decoration: none; }
wrapper {
max-width: 940px; margin: 0 auto; }
logo {
text-align: center; margin: 0; }
h1, h2 { color: #fff; }
nav a { color: #fff; }
nav a:hover { color: #32673f; }
h1 { font-family: 'Gilda Display', sans-serif; font-size: 1.75em; font-weight: normal; }
Brady Savage
2,021 Pointswell, it didn't post in proper format, but the nuts & bolts are there
Joseph Pietras
2,437 PointsTry reposting again with this: Wrap your code with 3 backticks (```) on the line before and after. If you specify the language after the first set of backticks, that'll help us with syntax highlighting. Check the markdown cheatsheet link below for how to post code. Thanks!
Joseph Pietras
2,437 Pointsare logo and wrapper ids/classes? If they are, you are missing a #for is and . for class prior to the name of the class/id and it might be getting hung up on that.

2,021 PointsNice trick, thanks. There it is! Like I said, totally stumped. Tried everything I can think of. Are you seeing anything I'm not?
Joseph Pietras
2,437 PointsHmmm nothing that I can see offhand. What css course/exam is this failing in, ill see what my code is and post it.
Alex Tasioulis
4,950 PointsI just did the challenge with this, soooo, I don't know... Maybe try double quotes instead of single around font-family name?
a {
text-decoration: none;
}
#wrapper {
max-width: 940px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
#logo {
text-align: center;
margin: 0;
}
h1, h2 {
color: #fff;
}
nav a {
color: #fff;
}
nav a:hover {
color: #32673f;
}
h1 {
font-family: "Playfair Display SC", sans-serif;
font-size: 1.75em;
font-weight: normal;
}
Justin Wiswell
9,471 PointsI just looked through the exam, and passed it using the following code:
h1{
font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;
font-size: 1.75em;
font-weight: normal;
}
The only thing i did different was use a different font, and placed it right after the anchor styles like this:
a {
text-decoration: none;
}
h1{
font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;
font-size: 1.75em;
font-weight: normal;
}
Double check your Google web-font is linked correctly, or maybe try another one?

Joseph Pietras
2,437 Pointsalso you only need one "font-family" in your css, I miss copied that part. Good-luck!
Brady Savage
2,021 PointsEureka! There was a minor glitch in the HTML. Thanks for all the help Joseph & everyone. Movin on!
