Logo switches position on different files

Hello Community!

I've just completed the "How to make a website" course and have been loving it so far. In order to really take in what I just learned I decided to revise the content and start building a very simple portfolio page for my photography.

I now have the problem that the logo position is not consistent across two files, it jumps to a lower position on series.html

Here are my codes:

index.html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <title>Esthaem</title>
        <meta charset="utf-8">

    </head>
    <body>
        <header>
            <a href="index.html" id="logo">

        </div>
    </body>

And here is the main.css

/*******************************

#wrapper {

    text-decoration: none;

.selected {
    text-decoration: underline;
}



/*******************************

    font-size: 0.85em;
}

/*******************************

    clear: both;
    padding: 50px 0 0 0;

/*******************************

#img-start {

    margin: 2.5%;
    text-align: center;
    margin-bottom: 10%;
}



/*******************************

#gallery {

#gallery li {

    text-align: center;
}

#gallery li a p {
    margin-bottom: 10%;
    font-size: 0.75em;
}

I know that this is most probably a very dumb mistake considering my little knowledge so far, but after trying to get this right for an hour I would really appreciate any input :)

The culprit is the float property on your header. You probably don't need it since you're also assigning it a width of 100%.

Thank you so much for the quick answer, this perfectly solved my problem! Could you maybe explain why exactly it didn't work that way? I'm trying to understand everything as much as possible.
