I did it right the first time and now I can't seem to do.

Can you please help me out with this? It would be very much appreciated.

I'm supposed to set a nav list with top and bottom margins to 0 and right and left to 10px. It keeps giving me an error mesage.

nav ul{
  margin: 0 10px 0 10px;
  list-style: none;
  padding: 0;
}
nav li{
  display: inline-block; 
}
nav a{
  font-weight: 800;
  padding: 15px 10px;
}

You need to use the nav ul selector to select everything within the list.

Thx, I don't know what I was thinking. But thanks for taking time to give feedback on this.

Thx for your help!

So you want to select the unordered list which is nested in the nav element. Then set the margin to 0 for top and bottom and 10px for left and right.

To do this you simply type:

nav ul { margin: 0 10px; }

The first number (0) sets the top and bottom margin and the second (10px) will set the left and right margin.

I appreciate your time in answering this for me.

No problem, glad to help :)

Thx, today it seems obvious how to do it. You explain very clearly and concise.
