Contact Details dont move to the right?

Checked code loads of times and when i resize the browser (to make it larger) the contact details dont move along side the general information like the do in the video. Any ideas? thanks

@media screen and (min-width: 480px) {

  /*********************
TWO COLUMN LAYOUT
************************/
  *primary {
    width: 50%;
    float: left;
  }

  *secondary {
    width: 40%;
    float: right;
  }

}

@media screen and (min-width: 660px) {

}

Hi Nicholas,

First I added Markdown to your post so that the code is readable here in the Community. Please refer to the Markdown CheatSheet when posting code.

As to your question... for some reason your primary and secondary are prefixed with an asterisk? Which is why it is not working. Remember, if it's a class, the selector needs to be prefixed with a period, and if it's an ID, then it needs a number sign (hash symbol).

Fix that up and it should be good.

Keep Coding! :) :dizzy:
