1,530 PointsExtra space in header and navigation
When working on my responsive css I do not get the thin header/navigation bar. In fact it gets wider. Can someone help with my code?
Here is the responsive portion:
@media screen and (min-width: 480px) { /================================ TWO COLUMN LAYOUT =================================/ #primary{ width: 50%; float: left; }
#secondary{
width: 40%;
float: right;
}
/*================================
PAGE: PORTFOLIO
=================================*/
#gallery li{
width: 28.3333%;
}
#gallery li:nth-child(3n){
clear: left;
}
/*================================
PAGE: ABOUT
=================================*/
.profile-photo{
float: left;
margin: 0 5% 80px 0;
}
}
@media screen and (min-width: 660px){
/*================================
HEADER
=================================*/
nav{
background: none;
float: right;
font-size: 1.125em;
margin-right: 5%;
text-align: right;
width: 45%;
}
#logo{
float: left;
margin: 5%;
text-align: left;
width: 45%;
}
h1 {
font-size: 2.5em;
}
h2{
font-size: 0.825em;
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
header{
border-bottom: 5px solid #599a68;
margin-bottom: 60px;
}
}
Here is my main css:

5,601 PointsAlright, so the problem is within responsive.css
on your #logo
selector. You have 5% margin being applied to top, right, bottom, and left sides. Which is causing the width of your #logo to push your navigation down and extend your headers height. To fix this, just change margin: 5%
to margin-left: 5%
.
#logo {
float: left;
margin-left: 5%;
text-align: left;
width: 45%;
}

1,530 PointsAwesome! That worked. Thank you. I kept poring over and over on my code to see what I did wrong. Always nice to have someone else look at it. Cheers!
