CSS

Doesn't work for me

Despite following instructions the nav does not float to the right, nor does the logo float to the left past breakpoints. Please advise. Snippet of code below:

 /**********************************
  HEADER
  ***********************************/

  nav {
    background: none;
    float: right;
    font-size: 1.125em;
    margin-right: 5%;
    text-align: right;
    width: 45%;
  }


  #logo {
    float: left;
    margin-left: 5%;
    text-align: left;
    width: 45%;
  }

   h1 {
    font-size: 2.5em;
  }    

   h2 {
    font-size: 0.825em;
    margin-bottom: 20px;
  }

   header {
    border-bottom: 5px solid #599a68;
    margin-bottom: 60px;
  }

  /**********************************

  #primary {
    width: 50%;
    float: left;
  }

  #secondary {
    width: 40%;

Hello jkr

In your responsive.css file, you have an extra } character for the #galler li selector:

#gallery li {
    width: 28.3333%}
}

you should have a semicolon after the width declaration like this:

#gallery li {
    width: 28.3333%;
}

A great resource for finding errors like these is the CSS Validator.

This is somehow confusing since it looks like some selectors are missing from css (#primary, #secondary). Please include a link to your workspace for this problem and I'll see what I can do. Unless other people are willing to pitch in.

Sorry I only showed a snippet of my responsive.css, here is the full css:

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


  /**********************************
  TWO COLUMN LAYOUT
  ***********************************/

  #primary {
    width: 50%;
    float: left;
  }

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



  /**********************************
  3 * 5 = 15
  100 - 15 = 85%
  85/3 = 28.333333333
  ***********************************/

  /**********************************
  PAGE: PORTFOLIO
  ***********************************/

  #gallery li {
    width: 28.3333%}
}

  #gallery li:nth-child(4n) {
    clear: left;
}



  /**********************************
  PAGE: ABOUT
  ***********************************/

  .profile-photo {
    float: left;
    margin: 0 5% 80px 0;
  }

}

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

  /**********************************
  HEADER
  ***********************************/

  nav {
    background: none;
    float: right;
    font-size: 1.125em;
    margin-right: 5%;
    text-align: right;
    width: 45%;
  }


  #logo {
    float: left;
    margin-left: 5%;
    text-align: left;
    width: 45%;
  }

   h1 {
    font-size: 2.5em;
  }    

   h2 {
    font-size: 0.825em;
    margin-bottom: 20px;
  }

   header {
    border-bottom: 5px solid #599a68;
    margin-bottom: 60px;
  } 
}
