My challenge is asking me-I don't understand. Add CSS that will allow all images to fill their parent element.

I understand that the this is asking me to have the image fill the maximum width of their container....and it's been suggested to write the code {max-width:100;} but it's not working in the code for the challenge...

css/main.css 
a {
  text-decoration: none;
}

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

#gallery 
{max-width: 100%;}

  #logo {
  text-align: center;
  margin: 0;
}

h1, h2 {
  color: #fff;
}

nav a {
  color: #fff;
}

nav a:hover {
  color: #32673f;
}

h1 {
  font-family: ‘Changa One’, sans-serif;
  font-size: 1.75em;
  font-weight: normal;
}

You can use The Following

img{
width: 100%;
height: auto;
}

this will make all the images fill the section or div or span or article they are in, you can use 

max-width: 100%;
max-height: auto;

for better result ;)
