Why when adding responsive css code (min-width: 660px) for my nav bar it rearranges my listed elements chaotically?

I've added @media screen and (min-width: 660px) for my <nav> tag like this: nav { background:none; float: right; font-size: 1.125em; width: 45%; margin-right: 5%; text-align: right; }

The result is: The nav text on the right side (which is correct) but with the background messed up, and one of my <li> items ( a picture) has been moved into the header.

I appreciate the help!

Hi, by setting float:right; you take content from normal flow, so elements that are bellow will try to take place in normal flow...

There is a way to avoid this behaviour, it is called clearfix:

.group::after {
   content: " ";
   display: table;
   clear: both;
}

You have to add class group to the floated element. You can find some information here: https://teamtreehouse.com/community/explain-clearfix
