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

Question about Code Challenge: Add CSS that will allow all images to fill their parent element.

I can't figure out what I am doing wrong on this one. After reviewing the video it seems

img { max-width:100%; } should be the answer, but that was wrong so I added:

gallery {

margin: 0; padding: 0; list-style: none; }

Could someone give me the correct answer??

Thanks!!

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

  img {
    max-width: 100%;
}
  #gallery {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  list-style:none;

}


#wrapper {
  max-width: 940px;
  margin: 0 auto;
}

#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;
}

Hi Jennifer,

Are are absolutely correct with img {max-width: 100%} as your answer, but you need a closing curly brace after the top most "a" rule and before img

Hope that helps.
