688 PointsHow do you create two columns for images in a gallery?
I can't figure out what is wrong with my code so that my images will appear in two columns and bullet points will be excluded. Below is the code I have written.
/************************** GENERAL ***************************/
body { font-family: 'Cuprum', sans-serif; }
wrapper {
max-width: 940px; margin: 0 auto; padding: 0 5%; }
a { text-decoration: none; }
img { max-width: 100%; }
/************************** PAGE: PORTFOLIO ***************************/
gallery {
margin: 0; padding: 0; list-style: none; }
gallery li {
float: left; width: 45%; margin: 2.5%; background-color: #f5f5f5; color: #bdc3c7; }

12,984 PointsHi, Mary,
I think the problem is in the selector gallery li.
Write ul#gallary li instead of gallery li. Why?
- gallary is and id so it needs the sign # infront of it
- gallray is an universal list so it needs ul infront of it
- it is gallary not gallery (note the letter e instead of a)
For the footer you can write footer {clear:both;} to push it to the bottom.
Hope it helps, Maja
