Cannot hide link in responsive layout.

  • Hello. This is my very first website and I'm having a bit of trouble.

    Here's the site. http://dhana-jordan.appspot.com/index.html

    It's just a student website for my mom. The problem I have is that I can't hide the "Close" link at the top right. It's purpose is to close the dropdown nav for small screens. I set it in the id= "back". When I try to alter it in anyway it doesn't do anything at all. Does anybody have any ideas?

  • Try this in your "tablet and up" media query / breakpoint

    #back a { display: none; }
    
  • No luck, #back or #back a is not responding to anything I do to it. Here's my css for #back:

    back {

    /* establish a positioning context for the closer */
    position: relative;
    

    }

    back a {

    /* turn the link into a ghost */
    background: transparent;
    border: 0;
    text-indent: -999em;
    /* make it fill the screen */
    position: absolute;
    top: -101em;
    bottom: -101em;
    left: 0;
    right: 0;
    /* ensure it sits behind the other links */
    z-index: 0;
    

    }

    I got this code from a tutorial. When I delete all of this code, it changes nothing. So I'm guessing it's inheriting something that I can't figure out how to change.

  • you've placed the hashtag in the html id attribute - it should only be in the css

  • Thank you so much! :)
