2,053 Pointsbug in code challenge???
@media screen and (min-width: 480px) {
#gallery li {
width: 28.3333%;
}
}
this is my code, not sure how it will look once it's posted. I'm pretty sure i didn't do the markdown right. anyway, they ask me to make the gallery width 28.3333% when the browser is 480px or larger. Why won't it let me move on? is this a bug? :(

2,053 Pointsoh my gosh, i realized what I was doing wrong. I was just saying #gallery, NOT #gallery li. Sorry all for being a bone head :( my bad. Thanks for helping.

Courses Plus Student 94,610 PointsYou originally had extra 3's. As I remember it, you had the selector correct and it was the extra 3's that were causing it not to pass.

Courses Plus Student 94,610 PointsHi Ryan M,
There's already a media query set up at the bottom for you to put the styles in. Did you put it there or did you create a new media query at the top? This won't work because the width will be set back to 45% further down in the css.

2,053 PointsHey Jason, what does the MOD beside your name mean?

Courses Plus Student 46,022 PointsYou have eight 3's in 28.33333333%; the challenge says to only have four. Could that be the issue?
Ryan Malkmus
2,053 Pointsi tried to only put four 3's instead of eight 3's. still says the same thing
Jason Anello
Courses Plus Student 94,610 PointsIt is the extra 3's as Ryan and Jeff have pointed out. If you have it at the bottom and with the correct number of 3's then I would refresh the challenge and try again.

If your using the code you posted you have too many 3's. Try 28.3333%.

2,053 Pointsstill now luck after changing the number of 3's :(.
Ryan Malkmus
2,053 Pointsit worked! thank you all! i do not know what it was. I copy and pasted the code above in this post. It looks like it's exactly the same as what i've been typing.
Ryan Duchene
Courses Plus Student 46,022 PointsDid it ask you to select the gallery itself, or did it ask for elements inside the gallery?
EDIT: It passed for me. Are you using the query they've started for you at the bottom? Or are you making a new one at the top?
Ryan Malkmus
2,053 Pointsthanks for getting that markup fixed for me. I see now how you did that now. this is the message it gives me when it fails....
Bummer! Be sure to set the width of gallery list items to 28.3333% when the browser is wider than 480px.
Ryan Malkmus
2,053 PointsHey Jason, i put it in the existing media query that was on the bottom of the code.
