27,534 PointsI'm having an issue with the code challenge in Media Queries for Standard Devices
Hey guys,
I typed this in the following code in and the background color was changed to navy but was not the answer the challenge is looking for.
@media screen and (min-width 480px) { body { background-color: navy; } }
Am I missing something here? I tried variations with @media screen only and with min-device-width in parentheses.
Any help is appreciated.
P.S. Treehouse rocks!

background
is the shorthand property for the individual background properties. It's ok to use background-color: navy
if all you need to do is set the background color. You can use either one.
The problem here was the missing colon that Luke noted in the comment.

27,534 PointsOk guys, I jumped the gun on submitting a forum discussion.
The missing : between (min-width: 480px) was causing the error.
