Courses Plus Student 606 PointsPadding issue
I have my padding set for top and bottom: 15px and left/ right at 10px. Yet the challenge is not allowing me to advance. Where is my error nav li{ display: inline-block; font-weight: 800; padding: 15px 10px 15px 10px; }
a {
text-decoration: none;
}
#wrapper {
max-width: 940px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
#logo {
text-align: center;
margin: 0;
}
h1, h2 {
color: #fff;
}
nav a {
color: #fff;
}
nav a:hover {
color: #32673f;
}
nav ul {
margin: 0 10px 0 10px;
list-style; none;
padding: 0;
}
nav li{
display: inline-block;
font-weight: 800;
padding: 15px 10px 15px 10px;
}
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%;

7,109 PointsSimple, I suggest you reread the instructions before I tell you the answer. I will however post the answer below :)
So it says to select the links in the nav element, which are the anchor elements signified by the <a></a> tags and you are applying the padding and font-weight to the list items signified by the <li></li> tags.
Simply move your CSS to look like such:
nav a {
color: #fff;
font-weight: 800;
padding: 15px 10px; //I changed this to the shorthand version but it is the same as "padding: 15px 10px 15px 10px;"
}
nav li{
display: inline-block;
}
Hope this helps,
Happy coding!

Dylan's approach works I did find a syntax error in the "nav ul: selector. It contains a ';' after the list-style not a colon ':'.
nav ul {
margin: 0 10px 0 10px;
list-style; none;
padding: 0;
}
