7,157 PointsIs there really something wrong with my code?
This is the task: Select the unordered list nested inside the nav element. Remove the margins on the top and bottom. Set the margins on the left and right to 10px.
This is what I did: nav { margin: 0 10px; }
And I got a Bummer. I also tried this, but still no luck: nav { margin: 0 10px 0 px; }
What am I doing wrong?
a {
text-decoration: none;
}
#wrapper {
max-width: 940px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
#logo {
text-align: center;
margin: 0;
}
h1, h2 {
color: #fff;
}
nav {
margin: 0 10px;
}
nav a {
color: #fff;
}
nav a:hover {
color: #32673f;
}
h1 {
font-family: ‘Changa One’, sans-serif;
font-size: 1.75em;
font-weight: normal;
}
img {
max-width: 100%;
}
#gallery {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style: none;
}
#gallery li {
float: left;
width: 45%;
margin: 2.5%;

Courses Plus Student 12,508 PointsThis is the task: Select the unordered list nested inside the nav element
And this is what you used:
nav { margin: 0 10px; }
What you did was select only the nav element, instead you need to select the ul that is nested inside of the nav element.
Try using the ul selector immediately following your nav selector to select the nested ul
element:
nav ul{
margin: 0 10px;
}
This selects the ul
element that is a child of the nav
element, which is exactly what the test case is looking for.

7,488 PointsHave a look at how they select the 'a' taginside the nav, you can do it similar just using the 'li' tag instead.
