Skeleton css columns - css

I have recently discovered skeleton.css and it is exactly what I was looking for. I didn't quite understand columns, but the example for buttons did exactly what I wanted as far as stacking elements as the screen narrows. What I have works beautifully, but I am not yet savvy enough with css to make the buttons into columns. The html and css code I have cut down to just what works. Any suggestions as to how to convert buttons to columns would be greatly appreciated.
My code below

/* Larger than mobile */
#media (min-width: 400px) {}
/* Larger than phablet (also point when grid becomes active) */

/* Larger than tablet */
#media (min-width: 750px) {}
/* Larger than desktop */
#media (min-width: 1000px) {}
/* Larger than Desktop HD */
#media (min-width: 1200px) {}

I decided to play with it myself and replaced the inputs with divs and changed the css accordingly. The code below will produce five equal width columns which will stack in four stages as the screen narrows. It works perfectly for what I need and was pretty simple.

Why is my styles.css not loading even though I cleared my cache?

I wrote new CSS for my page here and it wouldn't update. So cleared my cache on Google Chrome by going to chrome:settings/clearBrowsingData, ya know the normal stuff and it still wouldn't update. So I went on my iPad just to see if it was a fluke on my computer's half but it wasn't updated on there either. So I came here. Any suggestions? Here is my styles.css and index.html:
STYLES:

margin: 0;

You can call the different version of the same css file like this:
<link href="styles.css?v=1" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
Because you have given the name as styles.css without a starting /, the file will be downloaded from the same directory as the html file. And there is no styles.css in your 404 folder. So change style.css to /styles.css and it will work.

Why CSS is not working as desired on android?

The CSS media query for small devices isn't working for Android when screen is rotated in landscape mode, the background color isn't changing, and the form overflows.
The site works good, when screen rotation is turned off, I don't know why is this happening, since there is no problem in IOS, only in Android.
The CSS code:
* {
box-sizing: border-box;
}
*:focus {
outline: none;
}
body,
html {
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
}
body {

This happens because your android device screen has a height greater than 549px (considering your media query specifications). Naturally in landscape mode, this height becomes device width and hence your media query is ignored.
this is the media query you can target for almost all phones
/* phones (portrait and landscape) ----------- */
#media only screen and (min-width : 320px) {
/* Styles */
}
/* phones (portrait only) ----------- */
#media only screen and (max-width : 480px) {
/* Styles */
}
It is not possible to accomplish responsive design with only one media query. For making responsive design right, please visit and check this site, where media queries are explained and are examples on how to use it.
Android phone and iOS phone doesn't necessarily use the same width and height, most iOS phones uses width: 375px and height: 667px(or width: 667px and height: 375px when in landscape mode), although that is only for iPhone 6/7/8 excluding Plus and other models, you can check width/height which phone use which in Chrome/Mozzila Firefox/etc. in developer mode while emulating mobile devices.
Giving fixed width for DOM elements can mess up the view in small devices. particularly when the given width is not available as the device width goes less than that width.
So while writing media queries for smaller devices, say mobile phones, It would be great if you replace all the fixed widths to percentages. So that they will not overflow from the available space and will stay within the device width.
If you are having issues specifically for landscape, you can handle them using media query and orientation combination.
#media all and (max-width: 768px) and (orientation: landscape) {
}
Above code is enough for writing rules for small devices when used in landscape orientation.

Bootstrap not clearing central div

I'm picking up bootstrap after some time away,
I trying to create a simple responsive page
but I'm finding that when I resize the browser to a certain point
my central div overlaps the div above.
I've tried adjusting media queries, setting the top margins etc.
I've mocked up a page for viewing below
Thanks

Higher resolution media query overrides lower resolution media query

I have multiple breakpoints using CSS media queries. My problem lies within the media query for 320px. When setting the viewport to 320px, the media query for 320px is not loaded. The media query for 640px is loaded instead of the query for 320px. Why?

#media(max-width: 640px) applies to all sizes 640px and below, so the styles specified in this media query will also be applied to screen widths of 320px. Media queries do not increase the specificity of the CSS rules within. Because your #media(max-width: 640px) media query comes after #media(max-width: 320px), the rules or equal specificity in the larger media query will override those in the smaller media query.
The simplest fix would be to order your media queries from the largest screen size to smallest.
If you need more control, you can limit your media query to screens within a range of sizes using a combination of min-width and max-width.
#media (min-width:320px) and (max-width: 640px) {
}

css section header has a hover state outside of area

I have a section containing a anchor tag containing a h1, the h1 has a background image, when I hover over the h1 background image the position change to imitate a rollover, however, the rollover is also active outside of the h1 to the right of it try hovering to the right, I have tried to get rid of margins and padding to no avail.
