The gap between the images

I was just wondering why the gap between the images is smaller than the other two gaps. Should not the gap between the images be bigger than the other two because the margin there is 5 % (2,5 % + 2,5 %) and the gap to the left and right is only 2,5 % each?

Hello Damir, Have you tried going to the developer tools? Should be F12 to access or you can right click on one element on the page and choose 'Inspect Element'). Then change the margin and padding applied to each image.

Yes I have. I was referring to the video. The margin was set to 2,5% of #gallery li. I have difficulties to understand that the gap between the images is smaller then it is at the other sides of them, even on the video so there is nothing wrong I have done. I was just wondering how that gap is not bigger than the others, because it should be 5 % there between (2,5 % + 2,5 %).

Did you manage to get an answer to this as yet? I think that it might be because of the padding added to the wrapper div on the left and right but I cannot be sure.
