Pictures are not showing up in two columns please help

Pictures are not showing up in two columns here's my code https://teamtreehouse.com/workspaces/13570242#

Hi Uzair,

I'm getting a 'Bummer - page not found' message for your workspaces link. Perhaps try agin, or post your code?

Cheers,

Ede

Hi Uzair,

It's the same link, so it still doesn't work I'm afraid. You'd have to go into your workspaces, save it again, and get a new link. Or something along those lines, I don't use workspaces much.

Or, just post your code straight in here?

Cheers,

Ede

Hi Uzair,

Yes that link worked fine.

Your problem was that, in your HTML, you had assigned the id of 'gallery' to the first 'li' element in the unordered list. You should have applied it to the 'ul' element that contains the 'li' elements.

Because of this, the following CSS code is not taking any effect:

#gallery li {
 float:left;
 width:45%;
 margin: 2.5%;
 background-color:#f5f5f5;
 color:#bdc3c7;   
}

Once you amend this, you will be good to go.

All the best,

Ede

The first thing I noticed is that the #gallery li selector is not selecting the element correctly.

//This is the coding you have:
<section>
        <ul>
          <li id="gallery">
            <a href="img/DSC_0045dark.jpg">
               <img src="img/DSC_0045dark.jpg" alt="">
               <p>experimentation with random pictures</p>
            </a>  
          </li>
           <li>
            <a href="img/DSC_0039bnw.jpg">
               <img src="img/DSC_0039bnw.jpg" alt="">
               <p>experimentation with random pictures</p>
            </a>  
          </li>       
          <li>
            <a href="img/DSC_0516.jpg">
               <img src="img/DSC_0516.jpg" alt="">
               <p>experimentation with random pictures</p>
            </a>  
          </li>
          <li>
            <a href="img/hike.jpg">
               <img src="img/hike.jpg" alt="">
               <p>experimentation with random pictures</p>
            </a>  
          </li>
        </ul>
      </section>

#gallery {
margin:0;
padding:0;
list-style:none;
}

#gallery li {
float:left;
width:45%;
margin: 2.5%;
background-color:#f5f5f5;
color:#bdc3c7;
}

/*
#gallery li --> is asking the browser to find an li element that is inside of another element with the id of gallery.  However, this is not the structure you have. You gave the first li element the id of gallery. So, basically, the rule with selector #gallery li is not selecting anything, thus you do not see it working.

#gallery is an id, and an id can only be applied to one element. What you need is to have two li elements per line.
*/

Hope that helps.
