Bummer! We can't find the <ul> element!

My ul element is sitting right here!

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html ng-app="myApp">
<head>
  <title>Angular.js</title>
  <script src="js/angular.js"></script>
  <script src="app.js"></script>
</head>
<body ng-controller="myController">
<ul ng-repeat="name in names" >
  <li ng-list="bowlOfFruit">{{name}}</li>
  </ul>


</body>
</html>
app.js 
angular.module('myApp', [])
.controller('myController', function ($scope, $http) {
  $scope.bowlOfFruit = [
    {name: 'Apple'},
    {name: 'Pear'},
    {name: 'Orange'}
  ];
});

ng-list converts a comma delimited string into an array. you're just looking to use ng-repeat on the li. You want to add the ng-repeat to the item that is being repeated so add on the li not the ul.

Somehting along the lines of but let me know if the below doesnt work!

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html ng-app="myApp">
<head>
  <title>Angular.js</title>
  <script src="js/angular.js"></script>
  <script src="app.js"></script>
</head>
<body ng-controller="myController">
<ul>
  <li ng-repeat="name in bowlOfFruit">{{name}}</li>
</ul>


</body>
</html>
