"Inside the media query, create a new rule that targets img elements." stummped...

@media[href*="img"] (min-width: 607px) { float: left; }

[href*="img"] is not working ???

/* Write the CSS in the media query below */

@media (min-width: 607px) {
  float: left;
}

Hey Ray,

You seem to be seriously over-complicating this task. It just wants you to target all the image (img) elements and float them left. I'm not entirely sure where you are getting [href*="img"] (as the task says nothing about any <href> tags. All you need is img.

Below is the corrected code for your review. Please have a look and I hope it makes sense.

@media (min-width: 607px) {
  img {
    float: left;
  }
}

Keep Coding! :) :dizzy:

Thanks, Jason.

After going back and re-watching the first two videos since it has been so long, now this "looks like task 1 is no longer passing":

"We want three floated images per row. In the media query, create a pseudo-class selector that targets the fourth img child element first, then every third img that follows. Then, add a clear property that clears the left float."

@media (min-width: 607px) { img:nth-child(3n+4) { float: left; clear: ? ; } }

I'm not clearing the left float properly...

Suggestions?
