I can't get it, why is it behaving like that even though the float setting are not assigned to that element?

11,368 PointsHi Michal! Maybe you need to clear your footer element? Otherwise paste your code in here so we can help you out!
Michal Dunski
Courses Plus Student 3,136 PointsYes, of course. It's more of an theoretical question actually, why does this setting affect the element that shouldn't be affected as it's set to #gallery, which doesn't contain a footer? I'm just asking, because it seems illogical to me.
