CSS How to Make a Website Styling Web Pages and Navigation Make a CSS Image Gallery

Stuck on Challenge Task 2 of 4 in Navigating Web Pages & Navigation

The challenge asks me to: "Select the element with the ID gallery. Then, remove the margin, padding, and bullet points." My answer is:

#gallery li a {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  list-style: none;
}

However, it says this is incorrect; specificly, "Bummer! It looks like at least one side has no margin. Be sure you set all sides to zero margin."

How do I set "all sides to zero margin?" Where did I go wrong? Please give me a hint. Thank you!

Hi Ronald, I went ahead and fixed code highlighting for you. What you have is fine, and here's a hint: you can leave out the li and a selectors.

The only selector that the code challenge is looking for is #gallery

Your code for part two should look like this:

#gallery {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  list-style: none;
}

Thanks for your reply. I fussed around with the coding a bit longer and figured it. I'm learning that careful attention to syntax is really important.

Exactly! It makes all the difference! The good and bad of coding I suppose. Glad you got it! Good luck!
