Hi, I use Chrome 38 for ubuntu. I tried the same code as in the video. When writing display: flex; it worked, the <li>s got arranged horizontally, but other coomands such as flex-direction: row-reverse or column do not work.

7,506 PointsHi, have you tried adding the prefix for chrome? for example: -webkit-flex-direction: row reverse?

8,590 PointsI'm having the same exact issue and tried different browsers with the correct prefix and none seem to open the project files correctly. Wondering if there is something wrong with the project files? Anyone willing to download and test them then provide an answer? Any help is greatly appreciated because I'm a newbie and feel stuck.

5,373 PointsI'm a newbie, too. (Peep the score). So if any of the following is in left field, please ignore. But, I follow along using both Codepen (the third-party workspace they provide a button/link for in most of these CSS Foundations lessons) and SublimeText2, the code editor that many of the instructors are using in the videos (it's a beautiful thing).
When I use the Project Files that you can download, I open each one's starting version before following along with Guil in the video. I make my changes as the video progresses...and I refresh in Chrome.
Can I ask what you are using to follow along, how you are working it out...because I'm a little confused about the phrase "none seem to open the project files correctly." It kind of sounds like you might be getting tied up with setting up your coding environment or workspace/workflow.
Are you also using Chrome 38 in Ubuntu, like Alexandru? That's probably not something I can assist with (Windows user).

2,910 PointsHi Richard, sorry for the delay in my answer. I have tried also the prefix -webkit-flex-direction. It is strange that only this command is not working, all the others do work. I will try further, maybe I make a mistake somewhere. Thank you!
