Closing <nav> tag?

I'm getting an error when I close the navigation element, but that's needed in order to create the nav. No?

Hi Jon

You are correct, you do need the closing tag. You probably did what I did; put the element in the wrong place. The question was maybe a little vague? Look at the code below and notice the placement of the nav element.

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