2,242 PointsTrying to arrange 9 images in an image gallery with 3 rows and 3 columns. Something is not working..
So the first row and third row have images which are 1024 x 682 pixels
The second row has images which are 682 x 1024 pixels. (Ideally all images would be the same size)
I've managed to get the first 7 pictures in the correct position but the last two images are on a 4th column next to each other.
I've written this code which has not solved the problem:
gallery li:nth-child(4n){
clear:both;}
gallery li:nth-child(7n){
clear:both;}
gallery li:nth-child(8n){
clear:both;}
Please can you help?

You only need the first 2 nth-child rules you specified, not the '8n' one as that's clearing the 8th element.
If you want to clear every third element (starting from the 4th one) then you can use this :nth-child rule rather than several different rules, try this:
#gallery li:nth-child(3n+4){
clear: both;
}
It allows you to then add more li elements and you don't need to worry about changing the CSS.

If you view that on a desktop/laptop you can see the issue with the last 2 images.

27,371 PointsThe best idea would be to load your workspace, and then copy and paste the files into Notepad++ or something comparable so you can save it. You can also post the code into JSFiddle.org and I'll fork it and suggest a solution or you can upload it to Google Drive or Dropbox.

2,242 PointsHey, I've downloaded Notepad++, do I copy and paste the code from ALL the pages(index.html, about.html, contact.html, main.css and responsive.css) into one page on Notepad++?
And how do I share the code on Notepad++ with you?
Thanks!

- Open the Workspace that you would like to download and share.
- Click "File" then click "Download Workspace".
- Save it as a .zip file.
- Upload it to Google Drive or Dropbox and provide a public link that we can download the .zip file from.

2,242 PointsThanks, I left out the '#' accidentally.
Didn't know we could write formulas in there so thanks again. But if you look at my website (in progress) in this link: http://port-80-bz2gnxtxrh.treehouse-app.com/
You'd see the issue still exists with the last 2 images.
