Why would my media query for min-width: 480px over ride my media query for mid-width: 660 px?

I am trying to format the nav so that it displays to the right and drops the background at 660px display. For some mysterious reason it just stays in phone format!

Thanks Ryan, The problem mysteriously resolved itself when I removed the closing brackets on my media queries. Ive added them back in today and the display still changes at the breakpoint! sure is s mystery!

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

/********************************** TWO COLUM 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; }

/********************************** HEADER ***********************************/

.profile-photo { float: left; margin: 0 5% 80px 0; } }

@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%; }

h1 { font-size: 2.5 }

h2 { font-size: 0.825em; margin-bottom: 20px; }

header { border-bottom: 5px solid #599a68; margin-bottom: 60px; } }

Hi,

Without seeing your code, my guess is that you mean to have min-width : 660px, not mid-width: 660px.

Take care, Kaleena
