How do I get my three columns to align to the top of the container? I tried vertical-align but it didn't seem to work?

I tried inline-blocking the elements instead but wasn't there some way from a previous video? I'm getting the same problem with my nav header.

Alignment methods vary with element types.

:point_right: vertical-align only works with inline-level and table-cell elements.

If your columns are contained in block elements, they can be aligned with other methods like position, float, margin, flexbox, etc.

You could try using the float property.

.header { float: left; } and then add padding and margins for space. If this does not help, pop your code up to make it clearer what the problem is.
