using the float property the classical html layout goes mad. so you need to use clearfix to fix it. i think this might be an issue.

add to your html:

<header class="clearfix">

and

<ul id="gallery" class="clearfix">

to the css add:

.clearfix {
  overflow: auto;
}

and

body {
  margin: 0;
}

read about clearfix on google search

Could you share your workspace? Right away I can see you have your wrapper max-width (maximum width) set to 940 pixels which means that your page with me at a maximum width of 940 pixels and no more but I am not sure if that is all that is affecting your page.

i want my header to be 100%, i have set the values but i can't make it. I am using sublime text how to share it.

plz help

Thank you dude it help me, i used the same code, but i removed the "/class="clearfix"**/" from <ul>,as when i used it, it was not showing any images. It is the best answer for my question. Thank you for the help. Hope we see more from you.
