Here’s something : @media only screen and (max-resolution: 150dpi) and (max-width: 480px) { }
This is for the first exercise of the “And Operator” section.
I typed the exact same code and clicked run,got an error. clicked for the solution,
compared my code and the system’s , exactly the same.
yeah, sometimes it happens, that’s why before clicking solution button, you wanna copy your code, refresh the page, paste it and run it to see what’s up
Codecademy is pretty unforgiving on typos I have had them where an extra space has caused me to not get the check mark but the code still runs. Its probably a good thing. In the long run. I have definitely become more vigilant of typos because of this.
Codecademy are pretty strict about any small detail, so try to get it exactly as Codecademy did in the lessons. That doesn’t mean your version is wrong, but in the lessons, your code has to be identical to Codecademy’s for it to be correct
Not a big deal but the errors the academy throws seem rather quirky to me. Through the example or the direction blurb have they width parameter first and then the dpi request. So then there’s me daring to do it width first and the red error of discontentment thrown!!! GAAHHH!!! The logical consistency !! If it doesn’t matter per the academy’s own instructions why insist on dpi first? I mean I did it cause I want to move on in the unit but what a quirky thing
Tampering with my screen’s resolution had nothing to do with it for me – instead, I just switched browsers from Firefox to Edge, and then all my media queries were displaying correctly. Setting my min-resolution of the spaceship2x logo to 72dpi then did it for me… was wondering if I just couldn’t tell the difference between green and blue anymore lol but it’ll definitely be noticeably blue once it’s working right!
I’m going through the Media Queries syllabus, and I’m reading through the min-resolution portion, and I’m reading lines like “The website’s text needs to be larger for users who have small, low resolution screens. Write a media query that applies when the max-resolution is 150dpi and the screen has a max-width of 480px”.
Can someone explain to me why DPI and screen resolution are being used together here? DPI is printer thing, not a web thing. I could understand it if the training material was talking about creating a printer-friendly version, but not when talking about screen resolution. Shouldn’t it be using PPI instead?
I believe it boils down to the way they are checking to see if the answers you are giving are correct. I think it’s similar to the way we would check to see if someone is entering in the correct email address format. It’s looking for a particular string within the code. Yes, they probably could have checked for both formats, having it transverse, but just be mindful of what order they are asking for the answer to be in because that’s the order they are expecting you to give your answer in.
dpi was originally a term that was used first with printers. Nowadays, it’s also used with computers. For instance, when you change the sensitivity on your mouse so that you can move it faster or slower across your screen to give it more controlled movement, you are actually changing the dpi setting…telling the computer that you want your mouse cursor to move so many dots across the screen at a time.
