2,270 PointsI don't understand why when we added the "none" it displayed the border in the footer.
Why in the code when we added "border-top:none" then it suddenly appeared in the "main-footer" class. I thought It is supposed to disappear. this is the paragraph from the code:
@media (max-width: 768px) {
.primary-content,
.secondary-content {
width: 100%;
padding: 20px;
border-top: none;
}

Treehouse Guest TeacherHello Shaked Gvirtsman,
I believe what you're seeing when updating to border-top: none
are the unspecified border values that are still in use, so it's defaulting to values that have been set outside of the media query. Here's what's happening.
Outside of the media query in the CSS file, there's a ruleset for .secondary-content
that contains a declaration for border-bottom:
.secondary-content {
padding-top: 80px;
padding-bottom: 70px;
border-bottom: 2px solid #dfe2e6;
}
In the media query, when setting border
, it was setting all border sides to none which was overriding the border-bottom
rule above and setting it to none
.
When it was changed to border-top: none
, it allowed the border-bottom
to still apply, which means the border is not actually inside the footer, it is on the bottom of the .secondary-content.
I hope this helps.

2,270 PointsSo, it means that except for the bottom borders the other ones will not be shown?

Treehouse Guest TeacherShaked Gvirtsman Yeah, setting
border-top
tonone
in the media query will only overwrite previousborder-top
declarations, leaving others likeborder-bottom
to stay the same. Settingborder
tonone
in the media query will overwrite all other border declarations to none so no borders will be displayed for.primary-content
and.secondary-content
.
