3,800 PointsTwo Column Layout not becoming a one column layout at 480px
I am trying to get my page layout to be one column when viewed in a smaller screen, but its not working.
Here is the code:
@media screen and (min-width: 480px) {
/*******************
Two Column Layout
********************/
#primary {
width: 50%;
float: left;
}
#secondary {
width: 40%;
float: right;
}
}
/******************
Page: Portfolio
********************/
#gallery li {
width: 28.3333%
}
#gallery li:nth-child(4n) {
clear: left;
}
/*******************
Page: About
********************/
/*Two Column Layout*/
.profile-photo {
float: left;
margin: 0 5% 80px 0;
}

954 PointsI had this problem (the page would stay in two columns and never float the image to one column layout when sizing the screen very small). Finally I figured out that I had closed my curly brackets from the 480px media rule before including the section for the About page. Once I moved the closing curly bracket below the About page section, it fixed the problem.
