1,070 PointsWhy doesn't my grid.css work correctly?
<div class="container"> </div>
/*CSS CODING GRID BELOW */
.grid_1 {width:65px;} .grid_2 {width:150px;} .grid_3 {width:235px;} .grid_4 {width:320px;} .grid_5 {width:405px;} .grid_6 {width:490px;} .grid_7 {width:575px;} .grid_8 {width:660px;} .grid_9 {width:745px;} .grid_10 {width:830px;} .grid_11 {width:915px;} .grid_12 {width:1000px;}
.grid_1, .grid_2, .grid_3, .grid_4, .grid_5, .grid_6, .grid_7, .grid_8, .grid_9, .grid_10, .grid_11, .grid_12, { margin:0 20px 10px 0; float:left; display:block; }
.alpha{margin-left:0px;} .omega{margin-right:0px;}
.container { width: 1000px; margin: auto; }
/* I have been messing with this for an hour or two and still can't seem to align the grid correctly. I have a picture I want to align to the left and a unordered list I want to align right. What is wrong with my code because I can't figure this out =( */

8,355 PointsThere could be a number of things going on. For one, you could have a large picture that simply refuses to be contained in it's own grid. Or you may be adding margin or padding to one side of a gridded element and it's forcing the other grids on that row to the next line. You also may have forgotten to wrap all of your content in a div with the class of container_24. Or you may accidentally be using IDs instead of Classes. I can't really tell without seeing your html. Your grid.css looks pretty spot on.

Let's see your HTML so we can figure out what's going on. A screenshot would be good too.
