I'm not on task 3 of 4 and getting error: Bummer! Did you set the display property to inline-block?

The instructions are: Select the list items inside the nav element and set their display to inline-block. The last time I was on 4 of 4 and I had to start over from 1 and now am stuck on 3. I have no idea what is wrong. I would appreciate help.

css/main.css 
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 a { color: #fff; 
  font-weight: 800; 
  padding: 15px 10px; 
} 
nav ul { margin: 0 10px 0 10px; 
         padding: 0; 
         display: inline-block;
} 

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%;
  background-color: #f5f5f5;
  color: #bdc3c7;
}

I believe it wants you to select the nav li rather than the nav ul when adding in display: inline-block.

nav li { display: inline-block; }

The previous parts of the challenge were asking you to style the unordered list inside the nav. This is asking about the list items inside the nav.

Your display: inline-block; property should be under a nav li, not under the nav ul.

Hello Arlene,

without giving you the straight answer, let's say that the list element you are looking for is nested one level down in comparison to ul..

Hope this helps, Edouard
