176 PointsWhat is the correct way to code the clearing of the 4th item of the gallery.
I'm trying to figure out if it was right?

margin: 0 auto;
}

margin: 0;

}

}
#gallery {

Or simply use li:nth-child(4) to target the fourth element individually, once.
What you can't do, as far as I know, is use (4n) for nth:child as you did.

15,622 PointsHi Jaimee,
Your code is correct but you have a syntax error due to the space between li and nth-child
#gallery li :nth-child(4n)
should be
#gallery li:nth-child(4n)
