Tell us what’s happening:

Hi,
how do I add an empty @media condition? Obviously, the way I did it is wrong.

The direction says this:

Step 114

A media query can be used to change styles based on certain conditions, and they look like this:

@media (condition) {

}

Add an empty media query at the bottom of your stylesheet with a condition of max-width: 1000px. Styles added in here will take effect when the document size is 1000px wide or less.

I have done this:

@media(){max-width: 1000px;} /*I didn't put anyting in the parenthesis since it supposed to be empty */

This is the result that I got:

Hint

You should add an empty media query with max-width: 1000px.

Thank you.

This is the condition that will trigger the media query. When the instructions say to add an empty media query, they mean that there will be no CSS rule sets in the query (i.e. between the curly braces).

It is great that you solved the challenge, but instead of posting your full working solution, it is best to stay focused on answering the original poster’s question(s) and help guide them with hints and suggestions to solve their own issues with the challenge.

We are trying to cut back on the number of spoiler solutions found on the forum and instead focus on helping other campers with their questions and definitely not posting full working solutions.
