Border Settings in CSS Selectors tutorial

What's wrong with this? Somebody tell me please :) .main-nav { li:first-child { border: none; } } It's driving me crazy because the test keeps telling me that I need to set my border settings to none, and I believe I have.

You used to many curly braces in your css: To target the first list-item in .main-nav you have to write it like this:

.main-nav li:first-child {

}

have you tried .main-nav li:first-child { without the extra set of braces? Or just removing the border property completely?
