Why has my header gone away?

The header of my webpage has disappeared. If i minimize the screen to the size of a mobile device, it pops back up. But the green header has disappeared in regular desktop view along with everything in it. If I highlight the page, I can see it there, but it's all out of whack! Please help!

I would check your code. Perhaps look at your responsive.css and check the 660px portion. If your header is fine on smaller screens, then something is off when it tries to convert it to a larger screen size.

Matthew,

Thanks for the suggestion. Here's my code, if you don't mind taking a look to see if anything sticks out to you.

@media screen and (min-width: 480px) {

/********************* Two Column Layout *********************/

#primary { width: 50%; float: left; } #secondary { width: 40%; float: right; }

/*********************
Portfolio Page
*********************/

#gallery li { width: 28.3333; }

#gallery li:nth-child(4n) { clear: left; }

  /*********************
  About Page
  *********************/

.profile-photo { float: left; margin: 0 5% 80px 0; } }

@media screen and (min-width: 660px) {

/*********************
Header
*********************/

nav { background: none; float: right; font-size: 1.125em; margin-right: 5% text-align: right; width: 45% }

#logo { float: left; margin-left: 5%; text-align: left; width: 45% }

h1 { font-size: 2.5m; }

h2 { font-size: 0.825em; margin-bottom: 20px }

header { border-bottom: 5px solid #599868; margin-bottom: 60px; } }

The only mistake I notice is under your 480px where you are missing a % sign:

#gallery li {
   width: 28.3333%;
}

I can't imagine that will fix the error, but you never know. Let me know.

Thanks for catching that. Unfortunately, it's still not working. Thanks for trying!

Dana,

I think you have some mismatched curly braces in there, too. Check you About Page and Header sections. Also, try to follow the indentation conventions. It will make your coding life much easier in the long run.

@media screen and (min-width: 480px) {

/********************* Two Column Layout *********************/

#primary { width: 50%; float: left; } 

#secondary { width: 40%; float: right; }

/*********************
Portfolio Page
*********************/
#gallery li { width: 28.3333; }

#gallery li:nth-child(4n) { clear: left; }

  /*********************
  About Page
  *********************/
.profile-photo { float: left; margin: 0 5% 80px 0; } }

@media screen and (min-width: 660px) {

/*********************
Header
*********************/ 
nav { background: none; float: right; font-size: 1.125em; margin-right: 5% text-align: right; width: 45% }

#logo { float: left; margin-left: 5%; text-align: left; width: 45% }

h1 { font-size: 2.5m; }

h2 { font-size: 0.825em; margin-bottom: 20px }

header { border-bottom: 5px solid #599868; margin-bottom: 60px; } }
