I am taking a coding challenge and I keep getting this code wrong. It looks like this:
@media screen and (min-width: 480px) {
gallery li {
width: 28.3333%; }
gallery li:nth-child(4) {
clear: left; } }
I am not seeing what I am missing. When I compare this code to the code I entered in workspaces, I don't see a difference.
a {
text-decoration: none;

@media screen and (min-width: 480px) {
#gallery li{
width: 28.3333%;
}
#gallery li:nth-child(4n+4){
clear:left;
}
}

17,984 PointsFrom what I gather, #gallery li:nth-child(4)
will only select the list items that are the 4th child of the #gallery div. So in this case, that would just be one list item. The an+b
syntax makes it a cycle: http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/sel_nth-child.asp
