231,198 PointsWhen adding to a CSS file, it's generally a good idea to make your changes at the bottom of the file. That way, your new rules will override any existing ones that have the same specificity.
By placing your rule early in the file, the max-width property is being ignored because of another rule later in the file that sets the same property to another value.
