There is a way of thinking with this min-width because everything after changing from max-width has reversed. Instead when the view-port is larger the block should become larger instead it's shrinking for mobile, I'm doing something wrong ! Christopher Tom Livingston

Chris code works better, although there remains a horizontal scroll bar, maybe that is due to the fact I'm narrowing the browser window too much, a little beyond the min-320px. Tom your code when I scale the browser window there is a jump or gap. What I mean is, the media querie is kicking in

Using a media query doesn't contribute to specificity, so your code would work if you moved the declaration that sets the color to gray above the media query. If you wanted to get all "mobile first" on it, you could do: #menupanel { background-color: red } @media (min-width: 321px) { #menupanel {
