Nav nested in header not forming part of header when background:none is applied

Hi all,

So I've been stuck on this problem for quite a few days now. I tried everything I can.

When Nick applies background:none to his nav, the nav forms part of his header. Mine, on the other hand, does not. It has no background and the only time I can see it's still there, is when I hover over it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I've attached a screenshot of my workspace below.

Kind regards, Reggie.

Reggie, Take a look at your mobile settings for nav and you will have your answer. If you want something to appear on only smaller viewports you need to apply a media query. You can apply any color you want to the nav section at the top, but remember that CSS files are read from top to bottom, thus, any style added in duplicate lower down in the file will be the style that is rendered to the page.

Also, background-color: none; is not valid. You can have a color value, or a value of [inherit, transparent]
