Question about text moving floating elements.

#galleryArea {
    display: block;
}

#gallery {
    list-style:none;
}

#gallery img {
    width: 100%;
    height: auto;
    max-width: 225px;
    max-height: 225px;
}

#gallery li {
    float: left;
    width: 33%;
    padding: 0 1.6%;
    text-align: center;
}

#gallery a {
    color: black;
}

<div id="galleryArea">
        <ul id="gallery">
            <li><a href="#">
                <img src="img/img.png" />
                <p>Desc...</p>
            </a></li>
            <li><a href="#">
                <img src="img/img.png" />
                <p>Desc...</p>
            </a></li>
            <li><a href="#">
                <img src="img/img.png" />
                <p>Desc...</p>
            </a></li>
            <li><a href="#">
                <img src="img/img.png" />
                <p>Desc...</p>
            </a></li>
            <li><a href="#">
                <img src="img/img.png" />
                <p>Desc...</p>
            </a></li>
            <li><a href="#">
                <img src="img/img.png" />
                <p>Desc...</p>
            </a></li>
        </ul>
    </div>

I am trying to add multi-line descriptions to each of these images but whenever I do the image below is pushed down a very large amount. I have found out, through trial and error, that it is because of the float: left; in the #gallery li selector.

However, I need all of the gallery elements to stay arranged like that so I need another fix.

Thanks to anyone who helps!

Hi Luke,

Have you considered flexbox?
