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

Two columns do not stack on top of each other, for mobile view:

While the contact page now shows two columns, it does not become one column (stacking on top of one another) when the browser is set to a small mobile size (like Nick's does). It remains two columns no matter the size is. I cleared my cache, but it did not change anything. Does anyone know what is wrong with my code?

The problem is in your media queries :)

Elysha,

As Shawn mentioned, your responsive.css sets the two column styling for all screen sizes. In your media query, try using (max-width: 760px) . This selects all screens less than a760px. For example:

@media screen and (max-width: 760px) {
      #primary, #secondary { 
       max-width: 100%;
       display: block;
    }
}

Play around with the styling. Place the query at the end of responsive.css.

Good Luck

Thank you very much Bob, I will definitely test changing the screen sizes around after course completion.

Sadly, my issue was a simple misplacement of a bracket.
