Hello Mira,

Make sure you put your media queries at the bottom of your CSS and everything should be fine :)

Hi and thank you for answering. What do you mean with media queries at the bottom? To me it seems that media queries are at the bottom of css since they are only thing in responsive.css or should something be added to main.css too?

Yeah I still don't understand. I know css is cascading but how can the media queries be at the bottom when they are the only ones in responsive.css?

My Responsive.css

@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(4n) { clear: left; }

/*************************** PAGE: ABOUT ****************************/

.profile-photo { float: left; margin: 0 5% 80px 0; }

}

@media screen and (min-width: 660px) {

/*************************** HEADER ****************************/

nav { background: none; float: right; font-size: 1.125em; margin-right: 5%; text-align: right; width: 45%; }

#logo { float: left; margin-left: 5%; text-align: left; width: 45%;
}

h1 { font-size: 2.5em; }

h2 { font-size: 0.825em; margin-bottom: 20px; }

}

Michael is correct. Make sure your media queries are at the bottom. But even now, the navigation isn't really gone. It just happens to be mostly white text on a white background. If you hit CTRL + A or command+A you'll see what I mean.

You have removed the background in the nav rule by setting it to none, so any background-colors or background-images are gone. You have a white screen where your header is. Your text is also white so you cannot see it even though it is still there. The header is still there as well. If you open your console (F12 on windows) and select the elements tab, click on the header tag and it will show in your browser. To prove the text is still there, alter it's color.
