Try and remove all the opening paragraph tags

because that’s how I managed to complete that exercise after trying zoom in zoom out like everyone else says.Hope it works.

some browser set the lowest font-size to 12px，so you write 8px and the browser reset it to 12px ，so you can not pass it ， so just change your browser settings ， my browser is chrome ，i change it， then i pass it

i have the same problem, i tried all the suggestions.. but doesn t work still says that the size it’s not right! :(

Hey, try this…

irrespective of which ever browser you use just change the minimum font size form settings.

In my case its chrome(settings>show advanced settings>web content>customize fonts> minimum font size to 10px).

This works!!!

i have the same problem, i tried all the suggestions.. but doesn t work still says that the size it’s not right! I use the chorme 27.0.1438.7, and I use zoom 150%,then I pass it. I think it’s a bug.

I tried everything I can’t seem to get past it. Code Academy is onto something really great here - I hope they fix the little things.

If any of you are using a Mac, in Safari’s preferences there is an option under “Advanced” that says “Never use font sizes smaller than” with a drop-down box. You must disable this so the font is able to be smaller that 9 (which is the smallest allowable setting). I struggled with this lesson for half an hour before I somehow remembered this setting.

I encountered this issue and I I have a question about this. Is this a “bug” in the HTML interface? Is i a browser issue? or is it something odd about the HTML interface used on this site? It seems logical that the HTML font size attribute shouldn’t be at all affected by what my zoom level is at in my browser. Does anyone know WHY this issue comes up?

I had the same problem, but then again I checked all the solutions (in my browser both Firefox and Chrome, under settings I checked my minimal font size, I zoomed and re-zoomed and still nothing. Then I saw the post Linda gave actually the right answer for exercise 2.3 for the colour (I compared the whole code with mine and, at first didn’t saw any difference but when I checked line by line and sign by sign I saw the difference and this actual difference in the code helped me pass all other exercise. So once more, check your code line by line and sign by sign. For now I will not tell you were was my mistake - of course I am not guarantee that this was the solution why I passed but it might be. But for me read the post and check with my codes gave me the answer - and this time the correct one.

I ended up just skipping this section, the font size worked the first time ..I had a colon(:)instead of (-), then the next section, which had no errors would not let me pass. I have tried all the suggestions and even noticed, when using chrome, if you zoom in or out, and submit, it tells you the size of the font. If you zoom smaller (the size gets bigger) and vice versa but never hits on the mark. To save my sanity, I moved to the next section after 20 minutes.

(the browser for me : chrome)

first go to your browser’s advanced settings and then choose the smallest size of fonts then, use a space between your (:) and your number (16px) and then try some other sizes around 16px! it’ll work. like this : (font-size: 17px) I did it , and it worked. I hope it’ll be helpful to you too bro.

I tried everything. 3 different browsers: chrome (my standard), safari, and firefox and I played games with all of the settings including the cmd zoom options and editing the advanced text settings in each browser and nothing helped. So one please message me when they have found a complete solution.

I tried all of these things and none of them worked. No matter what I tried, zoom, browser settings, different sizes close to the size called for in the exercise, etc. I kept getting the error “It looks like you used size 32 instead of 16”.

Finally, I realized I used color= instead of color:

Whoops! Hopefully my mistake will help someone else!

OK, my results seem to be correct. However, it still says my first paragraph seems to have a font size of 9 instead of 10. Please help.

In addition to zoom, the exercise is also sensitive to minimum font sizes. Check your browser settings.

try “font-size” instead of “fontsize”. It worked for me finally :)

The correct way of doing this is to remove the original bracketed p from the front and make sure that the closing one after the code for the size is removed.

This is what worked for me after trying to change all the broser font settings with no success. Thank you Curtis. It was your comment that helped me realize what my mistake was. You don’t need

I could not pass that,it always says that:”Oops, try again! Did you set the first paragraph’s font-size to 10px? It looks like it’s 16px. (If you’re getting a weird decimal font size, check the Hint.)”

i got the stupid way to solve this problem..——>use safari。。。

Hi Guys,

This is what worked for me with NO browser changes. (Running Firefox) Hope it helps…

     <p style="font-size: 10px;">Some text for you to make tiny!</p>
    <p style="font-size: 20px;"> Some text for you to make normal size!</p>
    <p style="font-size: 40px;"> Some text for you to make super big!</p>

First, I follow the prompts to change the browser font settings , but there are still problems. So carefully checked the discovery to write a

, I hope for your help.
