Hi everyone,
First time running into trouble with the website we're building and I can't seem to figure out where I went wrong.
When making the website responsive using media queries, the contact page is divided into two columns on a big screen, and one column on a small screen. This works, when I make the browser windows small, I can see the 'General information' and 'contact information' popping nicely underneath each other.
When the screen goed bigger, they pop into two columns, one left, one right. However, they remain underneath each other. So the left column has white space next to it, while the right column has white space left to it.
Here's a snapshot of the code. https://w.trhou.se/fnc57ucyjs
As far as I know I've done everything as Nick showed, but obviously I missed something. Hopefully someone can tell me what it is, it's driving me nuts!

Managed to spot the little error, check out the spelling of the primary class on your contact.html file :) all goes as you would expect after that.
Hope this helps :) Craig

9,440 PointsWow, I can't believe I missed that! I must've gone over it twenty times and still... Thanks so much!
Important lesson learned: be very, very carefull and precise while typing.
Quick question though, since you seemed to have no trouble picking this out for me. Do you have a trick to spot these minor, yet essential errors?

27,930 PointsHi Dennis,
This type of thing is something you will get used to over time and become efficient at spotting the errors. It all just comes from time spent coding this type of thing will happen everyday at some point you will even see on the vids on here the teachers can make a typo but are quick through experience at knowing where to look.
No tricks just made plenty of errors and know where to look :)
A tip would be to code and preview your work in small chunks this will minimize the amount of lines you need to scan through if you know exactly where you code was working correctly to.
Glad you got it sorted and I was able to help :)
