[SOLVED] Need help, gallery not breaking down from 3 columns to 2.

Need help,

When adding three column layout on my portfolio page the images do not break down neatly into two columns when I shrink my browser page...

my code on 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: 28.3333333%; }

gallery li:ntd-child(4n) {

clear:left; }

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

}

Have I missed something out with an img margin somewhere?

Here is the portfolio page on main.css

/************************************* PAGE: PORTFOLIO **************************************/

gallery {

margin: 0; padding: 0; list-style: none; }

gallery li{

float: left; width: 45%; margin: 2.5%; background-color: #f5f5f5; color: #bdc3c7; }

gallery li a p{

margin: 0; padding: 5%; font-size: 0.75em; color: #bdc3c7; }

Thanks,

Hi Douglas - Im not sure if this answers your question but you need to check some of your code for spelling mistakes and then apply the code correction from the teachers notes at the bottom of the video.

/* Your incorrect code */
gallery li:ntd-child(4n) {
     clear:left;
 }

gallery li:nth-child(3n+1) {
     clear:left;
 }

Hope this helps.

Hi Sam, thanks for your answer. The problem was I accidentally closed the first @media query before adding this code! Thanks for also pointing out the need to improve the ntd code.

Best,
