CSS CSS Layout Techniques Flexbox Layout Flexbox Layout Challenge

Flexbox [Solved]

Hi, I am stuck on a flexbox challenge and have been so for the last twenty minutes now.The question calls for me to to reverse the column order by giving secondary the flexbox property and value that moves it to the beginning of the row. Thank you in advance for any assistance.

Here is the code:

@media (min-width: 611px) {

    /* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
.main-nav { display: flex; }
.main-nav li { flex-grow: 1; }

.content-row { display: flex; }


.secondary {display: flex;  -webkit-order: 1;}

}

I finally got it, sheesh. Here is the solution: .secondary { -webkit-order: 1;}

The answer is below but the solution is not obvious. Hope this helps others.

Carl, thank you for the response. My syntax was spot on, especially since I caved in and googled flexbox syntax and utilized copy and paste...

The correct answer is -1, at least, this is what allowed me to pass with the webkit. Even then, this answer isn't exactly correct because the lesson explains the industry acceptable process as using order: AND -webkit-order: plus IE which is -ms.

I'm not sure why this lesson would only use webkit as this is not cross-browser functional... Or is it now? Care to elaborate? I feel this will continue to cause frustration for others.

Thank you, Zack

Eh, I am stuck on this too... -webkit-order: 1; AND oder: 1; do not work -_-. I think there is a bug in this quiz.

Hey Zack, this is tricky to pass as you need the syntax to be bang on .. .secondary { -webkit-order: 1;} .. to pass you need this and check your previous code ..

For others that are stuck on this still,

You need to remove- display: flex; and add order: 1;
