Image's background

For this code:

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title>Images' gallery</title> <link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet"> <style> ul li { list-style:none; float:left; width:23%; margin:1%; background:lightgrey; color:darkgrey; } </style> </head>

<body> <div id="gallery">

<ul>
<li><a href="1.jpg"><img src="1.jpg" alt="1"></a>
  <p>The first photo image</p></li>

  <li><a href="2.jpg"><img src="2.jpg" alt="2"></a>
  <p>The second photo image</p></li>

  <li><a href="3.jpg"><img src="3.jpg" alt="3"></a>
  <p>The third photo image</p></li>

  <li><a href="4.jpg"><img src="4.jpg" alt="4"></a>
  <p>The forht photo image</p></li>

  <li><a href="5.jpg"><img src="5.jpg" alt="5"></a>
  <p>The fifth photo image</p></li>

  </ul>
</div>

</body> </html>

Firstly their is a variance between each image and relative background in terms of height and width

and the float property is only applied to the background i.e. when i shrink the page then the images overlap while the background strict to their margins

So i just wanna know why does this issue happening and how to fix it

Thanks :)

Since your issue involves images, we probably need to see those also.
Make a snapshot of your workspace and post the link to it here.

Open the folder named images that contains the code, the style and the images themselves.

Thanks for the instructions and help :)

You probably want to apply the style to [#gallery li] instead of [#gallery ul li a].

Do you want it to look like this snapshot? https://w.trhou.se/g42nt3yyl7
