620 PointsHow do i get the Gallery to collapse to a two column structure when minimizing the window to mobile dimensions?
My gallery stays in a 3 column structure. Here is my code, please assist if you can, I would appreciate it. Thank You.
@media screen and (min-width: 480px) {
/********************* TWO COLUMN LAYOUT *********************/
#primary { width: 50%; float: left; }
#secondary { width: 40%; float: right; } }
/********************* PAGE: PORTFOLIO *********************/
gallery li {
width: 28.3333%;
}
gallery li:nth-child(3n+1) {
clear: left; }
@media screen and (min-width: 660px) {
}

I would also add the display property inline-block to your primary and secondary columns. Also you need to add an identifier to your gallery element, either a class or ID. just plain 'gallery' won't get you anywhere in HTML since it is not a semantic tag. Try this:
@media screen and (min-width: 480px) {
/********************* TWO COLUMN LAYOUT *********************/
primary {
display: inline-block; width: 50%; float: left; }
secondary {
display: inline-block;
width: 40%;
float: right; }
.gallery { display: block; width: 90% } }
This should give you a two column layout with the gallery underneath or on top of your columns depending on your HTML markup. If 'gallery' is an ID, simply add # in place of the period.
Hope that helps!
I also suggest checking out documentation on media queries here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Guide/CSS/Media_queries. Media queries can be tricky but super useful once mastered.
