"You need to set the 'href' attribute of the second <a> element to 'pies.html'." So I am stuck here.

So I am stuck here are can't figure out what I did wrong in this situation. Could someone give me a hint?

Thank you

hi, simple your code is not VALID HTML its somekind of mixing TAGS, its like you tell me i have CAR and i tell you no its bike and you keep telling me no its car :smile:

No valid HTML (it works but never learn like this !): 

<a> <li> sdsad </li> </a>

VALID HTML:

<li><a>  sdsad </a></li>

better read all MDN link under all videos :)

Hi there! Patrik Horváth is correct. You're doing fine, but your tags are a bit backwards. The only allowed immediate descendant of an unordered list is a list item. Right now, your list items are inside your links, but your links need to be inside your list items. You can find the rule about the descendants under "Permitted content" in this MDN documentation.

Hope this helps! :sparkles:
