543 PointsImages not resizing correctly in page preview
Hey all-
I'm working on the CSS to style the galley in our sample webpage I've double checked my CSS against the example but my gallery images still aren't resizing. They're still full size and just overlapping each other.
Trying to find the bug, but everything in my workspace looks the same as Nick's as far as I can tell. My CSS for the galley styling is pasted below.
Help :)
gallery {
margin: 0; padding: 0; list-style: none; }
gallery li {
float: left; width: 45%; margin: 2.5%; background-color: #f5f5f5; color: #bdc3c7; }
gallery li a p {
margin: 0; padding: 5%; font-size: 0.75em; color: #bdc3c7; }

```#gallery { margin: 0; padding: 0; list-style: none; }
```#gallery li { float: left; width: 45%; margin: 2.5%; background-color: #f5f5f5; color: #bdc3c7; }
#gallery li a p {
margin: 0; padding: 5%; font-size: 0.75em; color: #bdc3c7; }

?

543 PointsThanks for the quick answers all,
I do have the "#" preceding my gallery rules (it doesn't show up here I guess?) and I have an id of "gallery" on my <ul> in my index.html file but the workspace still isn't resizing the images.
Is there a full master copy of this project I can check my workspace against?

543 PointsWoo!
Had used the word "image" in my max-width rule instead of "img."
Thanks for all your help :)
