Nav Elements aren't reacting

My workspace doesn't seem to be reacting to the code I put in, and I can't find the problem.

Here is the code for the header in main.css

header {
  float: left;
  margin: 0 0 30px 0;
  padding: 5px 0 0 0;
  width: 100%;
}

#logo {
  text-align: center;
  margin: 0;
}

Here is the code in the responsive.css

@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%;

  }

}

Hi Audrey,

Can you post your html please.
Also, do you mean the code is not doing what your expecting after you add the styles to your nav?

Hi Wayne,

I mean that none of the things like removal of the background, floating the nav elements to left, etc. are happening.

here is my html

html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Audrey Barker | Designer </title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/normalize.css">
    <link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Changa+One|Open+Sans:400italic,700italic,400,700,800' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/main.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/responsive.css">
  </head>
  <body>
     <header>
       <a href="index.html" id="logo">
        <h1>Jess Barker Document Research & Retrieval, LLC.</h1>
        <h2>Your Nationwide Title Company</h2>
       </a>
       <nav>
        <ul>
          <li> <a href="index.html" class="selected">Portfolio </a></li>
          <li> <a href="about.html"> About </a></li>
          <li><a href="contact.html">Contact </a> </li>
        </ul>
       </nav> 
     </header>

Your html tag is missing the less-than sign.
