I Need a little bit more help understanding, What will be the parent element here? .. would it be the wrapper. ? Now the wrapper is set at 940px , we have five images that is set to a max-width of 100%; where did the 45% come from.

I hope this helps.

1,419 PointsThank you for your helping me lock on to the parent element which is the (ul gallery id) cool, I am still not seeing how the 45% was done.

16,936 PointsThe li tags are set to 45% along with other css properties so that the gallery creates a 2 column grid of all images. the images are set to max-width 100% so that it fills the entire width of its parent element.
