Contact Info column is not floating at the same level as the General info level. It stays below

The second column is not floating at the same height level as the first column. Instead it stays below (aligned to the right)

Responsive.css:

@media screen and (min-width:480px) {
 /*********************
Two Column Layout
*********************/
  #primary {
    width=50%;
    float:left;
  }

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

Contact.html

<section id="primary">
        <h3>General Information</h3>
          <p>I am not currently looking for new design work, but I am available for speaking gigs and similar engagements. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me!</p>
          <p>Please only use phone contact for urgent inquiries. Otherwise Twitter and Email are the best ways to reach me</p>
      </section>
      <section id="secondary">
        <h3>Contact Details</h3>
          <ul class="contact-info">
            <li class="phone"><a href="tel:555-1234">555-1234</a></li>

          </ul>

I figured out the issue. I was using

width=50%;

instead of

width:50%;

Hi Paul,

In both your #primary and #secondary rules you used equals for the width instead of a colon :
