HTML How to Make a Website Responsive Web Design and Testing Refactor the Layout

Posted by Eric Jacobs

Not sure what I'm doing wrong:

Here's the challenge: "Inside the media query, select the list items inside the gallery and add a width of 28.3333%."

Here's my code: @media screen and (min-width: 480px) {

#gallery li { width: 28.3333%; }

}

Here's the response: "Bummer! Be sure to set the width of gallery list items to 28.3333% when the browser is wider than 480px."

Not sure what I'm doing wrong - or what I'm missing. Can someone please let me know where I've gone wrong?

thanks in advance!

Have you deleted the upper Code?

This worked for me

@media screen and (min-width: 480px) {
    #gallery li{
    width: 28.3333%;
  }
}

Thanks Christian ... appreciate the response. I've copied and pasted the code that you provided - and still doesn't work.

Could you explain what you mean by "Have you deleted the upper Code?" - that might be what's wrong.

thanks again!
