2,960 Pointsimages not lining up correctly
I'm on the section about floating images supplied by Nick. The 1st and 2nd images are side by side, but there's an empty space to the left of the 3rd image (image-number 6). The 4th (image 9) and 5th (image 12) images are side by side, The 3rd and 4th images should be side to side with the 5th by itself. Is there something wrong in my html or css? I can't seem to get my html to load on here.
Here's the css
gallery {
margin: 0; padding: 0; list-style: none; }
gallery li{
float:left;
width: 45%;
margin: 2.5%;
background-color: #f5f5f5;
color: #bdc3c7;
}

21,956 PointsThe CSS you have here looks right, and should put the list items side by side, two per line. If they are not showing up correctly, then there may be some problem with some other HTML or CSS settings that is throwing off the alignment. It may even be something as small as leaving off a closing "/" mark.
