231,198 PointsThe descendant selector .nav-btn li
targets list items that are contained in another element with class "nav-btn".
But a selector to target the list items with a class of .nav-btn would be li.nav-btn
instead.
Also, while a display setting of "inline" does allow the items to appear on the same line, it doesn't allow the width setting to be effective. There's another setting that would do the job better.
