587 PointsHi! I'm up to the task: "Inside the media query, clear the left side of every 4th list item" it keeps refusing my answer
I have added the code:
#gallery li {
width: 28.3333%;
}
#gallery li:nth-child (4n) {
clear: left;
}
And I have tried numerous attempts at different variants, it's still not accepting my answer?? On my tutorial though in my workspace, it looks perfect. Please advise if I am doing something incorrect?? I am not very happy it won't accept my answers. :(

9 times out of 10 someone posts on the forum about a code challenge that will not "accept their answer" the reason is their code isn't correct for a hint on what's wrong in this case check out Christian Andersson's earlier reply.

p:nth-child(2) { background: #ff0000; }
....or does the "n" mean every fourth child versus simply "the fourth" child???
which one is right?

Suffice it to say, they are 2 different things:
-
nth-child(4): Select the 4th element -
nth-child(4n): Select every 4th element
