Problem with media query

In challenge one of the tasks is to clear the left side of every 4th list item in the gallery, inside the media query. My code works in my workspace but when I write the same code in challenge it says that code is wrong.

@media screen and (min-width: 480px) {

/************************************************ TWO COLON LAYOUT ************************************************/

primary {

width: 50%; float:left; }

#secondary { width: 40%; float: right; }

/************************************************ PAGE:Portfolio ************************************************/

gallery li {

width:28.3333%; }

gallery li:nth-cild(4n) {

clear: left; } }

In your "li:nth-child(4n)", you misspelled child and put cild. That may fix your problem.

Hi Karlis,

Your primary and gallery are ids just like your secondary . You are just missing the # at the beginning. Like so..

 /**********************************
  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;
  }

Also Kyle is right about the misspell and needs to be fixed as well.
