list-style: none

Why does list-style: none; not work inside of my #gallery {} property? It will only work under - #gallery ul {}

Using #gallery ul { list-style: none; } is targeting anything inside the Unordered List (you are being specific), whereas the cascading doesn't target the ul inside the #gallery. As a test in your CSS try making 4 declarations: 1 for #gallery 2 for #gallery ul 3 for ul 4 for li and use the list-style: none; in each one. Then comment all of them out and uncomment them one by one while leaving the others commented out.and look at your results. Notice if you have the li uncommented it takes away the bullet points.

"Using #gallery ul { list-style: none; } is targeting anything inside the Unordered List (you are being specific), whereas the cascading doesn't target the ul inside the #gallery" That makes sense, but it is not the way they show it in the video. He targets only #gallery{}- Thanks for the help though.
