Menu
I'm trying to set out a grid of what will be buttons. Each contains an image and some text. I want it to change the number of pictures in a row to suit the window width, so for example on a PC I might get 3 across, while a phone will show one column. I've got test code working, apart from an irritation. As you will see from the test, the pictures are bottom-aligned to the captions. This looks clumsy and would be better if the tops were aligned. http://www.adamshome.org.uk/images/ButtonPhoto.jpg

With you current setup, the only thing you need to add in order to make your items align correctly is add vertical-align: top; to your .item class.
You can read more about vertical-align here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/vertical-align
