Nav Question

im supposed to Create a navigation element with an unordered list element after the link inside the header. Don’t add any list items or links just yet.I Feel as though i did it right but it still says it is not correct.

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Nick Pettit</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <header>

      <a href="index.html">
        <nav>
           <ul>
           </ul>
       </nav>
        <h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
        <h2>Designer</h2>

      </a>

    </header>
    <section></section>
    <footer>
      <p>&copy; 2013 Nick Pettit.</p>

Hi Richard,

You haven't placed the <nav> and <ul> elements after the link. They need to go after the closing <a> tag (</a>).

Please see the code I used below for reference:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Nick Pettit</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <header>
      <a href="index.html">
        <h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
        <h2>Designer</h2>
      </a>
      <nav>
        <ul>
        </ul>
      </nav>
    </header>
    <section></section>
    <footer>
      <p>&copy; 2013 Nick Pettit.</p>
    </footer>
  </body>
</html>

Hope this helps! Happy Coding!!!

You have nested your <nav> and <ul> elements INSIDE the link by putting nav and ul inside the <a> and </a> tags. Try putting your nav and ul tags after the </a> tag.
