Margin

Question

Hi,

I'm finishing up a website and as I was writing down the media queries for smaller screens a margin appeared only in the nav. The only element before it is the logo image.

Does anyone know how can I clear the margins that I have not added to the nav. so it doesn't look horrible in smaller screens?

Thanks a lot!

Hi Ana Camelo

Check if there is a margin setting on the wider screen sizes. Remember that the CSS rules are kept unless overwritten in the media query. Get a link to the site up.

When posting code like that, what I suggest is grab the two areas that are relevant rather than all of it.

Seeing the style code you are using now would make it easier to help.
