Hello

Question: Why does the left column (orange) not expand all the way to the right when the browser window is made smaller by either dragging the computer browser window or viewed in a cell phone?

How to fix?

    You have a redundant curly bracket in your css, directly before the #right_column media query below - marked in red: (Remove it and your right column WILL then be 100% of its parent container)

     

    }
    @217338screen and (max-width: 768px) { /* this stops the div from expanding beyond max-width */

    #right_column{
    flex-basis: 100%;
    }
    } /* Must have 2 curly brackets for media screen */
