HTML How to Make a Website Responsive Web Design and Testing Build a Three Column Layout

Social icons lingering in first column

I just added the media queries to the Contact page to in theory move all contact links to a secondary column floated right. The only problem is the icons didn't float with it, unlike Nick Pettit's! I've gone through my files alongside the finished project files and looked for mistakes but can't make sense of it. What am I doing wrong?

main.css

contact.html

responsive.css

Thanks. I know I've been blowing up the forums as of late!

Hi Cheryl, I mentioned you missed a semicolon after width value in responsive.css, thats why next rule (which is float) not working.

Hi Cheryl,

Were you able to figure this one out? If not, you should try posting this as a pen on http://codepen.io/ instead of just posting the code. It's much easier to spot issues when you can use debugging tools like the Chrome DevTools.

Try these things.

Remove clear: both; from the #wrapper id in main.css or Add the following: <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"> as the last link under the <head> tag in your contact.html or make sure that you always close your css values with a semi-colon

Yep Oskars Rukmans, that did it. How did I miss that, ugh!

Nick Pettit, great tip! Seems like a much easier layout for referencing different files, also. Looking forward to the debugging portion of the project, too.
