CSS How to Make a Website Responsive Web Design and Testing Build a Three Column Layout

I have 4 images and I'm still having the same problems with lines wrapping and images not clearing

I have 4 images and I'm still having the same problems with lines wrapping and images not clearing. When I am looking it as a 3-column layout, it seems fine. However, when I resize my browser to where it's small enough that it adjusts to a 2-column layout, I'm again having the same wrapping problem. Is there a way to fix this?

Can you please post your HTML and CSS.

Hi Martina,

Thanks so much for the reply!

Here's the codepen link to my HTML: http://codepen.io/jtw2114/pen/KwxNeN.html Here's the codepen link to my CSS which has the mainv3 and responsive css files: http://codepen.io/jtw2114/pen/KwxNeN.css

I think this is what you needed. You had your responsive media queryies set to min-width instead of max-width and also you had your #gallery li % widths the other way. also the li:nth-child for the media query should have been set to (3n) so that it creates a two column layout on mobile. Let me know if this is what you where looking to do.
