This is an unfortunately all-too-common situation with these challenges where they're looking for something very specific, but you added something extra (even though it matches what they have above, and is totally semantic), and then their error message makes no sense.
For whatever reason, they let you pass the first task with having put your ul
inside of a nav
element, but then on the second task, you are failing out because you have that nav
element. I was able to pass with your code by removing the opening and closing nav
tags that you have surrounding your ul
in the second task.
While they didn't ask you to wrap your ul
in a nav
element, this is still something that is mostly on them, because they let it slide on Task One, but not Task Two for some reason. To hopefully prevent this in the future, make sure you only ever do exactly what they tell you in the instructions, which for Task One of this challenge, is simply to "create an unordered list with three empty list items" in the section
element. There is no mention of wanting you to create that ul
inside a nav
element, so you're safer not including it here.
Happy coding!
Erik
