1,303 PointsDon't Understand what I'm doing wrong in Code Challenge
I'm about positive I'm typing this write ... but I still am receiving an error on the code challenge.
It says: Inside the media query, clear the left side of every 4th list item. My code is:
*Inside the media query *
#gallery li: nth-child(4n) {
clear: left;
}
I was really positive on my code, and I checked and it's even the same code as in the lesson. But I don't know what I'm doing wrong Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you for your time

Zach Perry
1,303 PointsThank you for your link. I did have the tag, it was from the subtopic HTML and the challenge was from The How To Make A Website - Refractor the Layout ... question 2.
Jason Anello
Courses Plus Student 94,610 PointsThanks for the update. It sounds like there were 3 tags showing then and now there is only the main category showing. "CSS"
I will check in with staff then as this seems to be a problem and I'll stop changing main categories until this is resolved.
Sorry about that.

Should read:
gallery li:nth-child(4n) {
clear: left; }
edit: # doesn't show up in text in front of gallery

1,303 PointsIt is an ID, I do have an # ... but it's not showing up on my post

Courses Plus Student 94,610 PointsHi Zach,
You have a space after li: that you need to remove.
David Miller
3,526 PointsTry removing that space then.

Courses Plus Student 94,610 PointsHi Zach,
I went ahead and fixed your code formatting for you.
This thread will show you how to do that: https://teamtreehouse.com/forum/posting-code-to-the-forum
I also changed the category to "CSS" as that is more appropriate but it looks like that lost all the other tags that you had set.
I will check with staff on that.
Did you have this tagged with what code challenge it was from?
