Having trouble building column layout!

Hello everyone,

I've been following the 'How to Make a Website' course and I am building the three column layout.

In the video, the General Information section and Contact Details section end up next to each other, but once you resize your browser and make it much smaller the contact details are below the general information section. Mine for whatever reason are not side-by-side at all no matter how big my browser is!

I've written the id's and code properly, but can't figure out what's wrong. I also added the correct id's to the proper sections. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me :)

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

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

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

}

paste html too please. Is there css above your media query? A syntax error can keep the rest of the css from processing.

I think you need to snapshot the workspace using the camera icon in the top right corner - I can't access the link

Make sure your css file is linked correctly - it wasn't in any of the html files. Fix line 9 in contact.html (and the other html pages)

<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/responsive.css">
