18,975 PointsMy clearfix isn't working
Am I applying my clearfix correctly? The banner background is still hiding the navigation list elements and the footer background is covering the three columns.

The nav items appear in reverse order because the "float: right" property setting is applied directly to the list items. In the videos, that property is applied to the "`.main-nav" class instead.

231,269 PointsI don't remember offhand how this is done in the video, but one quick way to solve the footer overlap would be to apply the clearfix to the container div on line 27:
<div class="container clearfix">

18,975 PointsThanks, the footer overlap is fixed.I still need to figure out how to get the navigation list items inline and in the right order.

231,269 PointsAs I said before, move the "float: right" from the list items (".main-nav li") and put it instead directly on the .main-nav the way it is in the video.

18,975 PointsHere's my updated code, what I need to know is how to get the columns side by side, I think I've tried adding an inline display to the col class but it didn't work. Also I'm wondering how to reverse the order of the nav list items.
