CSS CSS Layout Basics CSS Layout Project Column Layout with Media Queries

main-footer expands to full height of column container on screen sizes less than 769px

Hi all!

When I reduce my window size to <769px, the main-footer expands to the full height of the column container and all of the content has the background color #d9e4ea.

I'm pretty sure I've applied the clearfix classes correctly to the header and column divs. I also tried adding clearfix to main-footer to no avail. What am I missing?

Here's my code: https://w.trhou.se/2iy0dywu6z

Thanks!

Hi Isaac,

Your clearfix class rule on your CSS is inside a media selector. In this case is inside the first media selector, that by its properties (min-width: 769px) requires 769px so it won't apply the clearfix unless your window size is greater than that.

To fix your issue move the clearfix css class rule outside the media selector.

Thanks, Leandro! That makes sense.
