Help with a Challenge.

For this task it asks me to : "Inside the media query, select the list items inside the gallery and add a width of 28.3333%."

so at the top I type:

@media screen and (min-width: 480px) { #gallery li { width: 28.3333% } }

and it says that i am wrong. Can anyone help me out?

I should of searched the forums before hand:

https://teamtreehouse.com/forum/challenge-task-refactor-the-layout

It turns out that they had already written the "@media screen and (min-width: 480px) {}" at the bottom of the list.

one person said "respect the order of the lists..." I will have to check that from now on.

Thank you everyone for responding so quickly!

Andre,

In the code you wrote above, the first thing I'm noticing is that you don't have a semi-colon after your percentage value.

Try that and see if it works.

The width declaration does not need to be in brackets.

It's a little confusing when written like this, but the curly braces that he has around the width declaration are actually correct and necessary. If you write it out in the more familiar way...

@media screen and (min-width: 480px) {
    #gallery li {
        width: 28.3333%;
    }
}

...it's easier to recognize.

:)
