The instructions say to set the display for "the list items inside .main-nav", but this CSS rule is targeting the main-nav itself.

When you submit this code, you should get this reminder message: "Bummer! Make sure you're selecting the list items inside '.main-nav'."

Hint: This would be a good place to use a descendant selector.

1/3Display the list items inside .main-nav side by side. Use the display value that generates a block element that flows with surrounding content.: answer: .main-nav li { display: inline-block; } 1/3 </ok>

2/3The <ul> with the class main-nav is a block-level element by default, so it takes up the full width of its container. Let's set .main-nav to be as wide as the content inside it. Change the display of .main-nav to the display value that generates a block element that doesn't take up a full line.

here I got the problem.... I tried (1): .main-nav { display: inline-block; }

I tried (2): ul.main-nav { display: inline-block; }

I tried(3): .main-nav ul { display: inline-block; }

so I'm getting confused.

For task 2 you do want to target "main-nav" itself, so "I tried (1)" should work (same as what you had to start with).

Did you add that with the task 1 code? Or did you accidentally erase the code for task 1?

finally the answer:

.main-nav li { display: inline-block; } .main-nav{ display:inline-block; }

Right. Each task in a multi-task challenge must remain as the other tasks are added to it.

Since these are setting the same value, another solution would be:

.main-nav li, .main-nav {
    display:inline-block;
}

3/3 The logo is an <img>, so it displays inline with surrounding content by default. The logo displays on the same line as .main-nav and the auto margins have no effect on it. Place the .logo on a separate line by changing its display mode.

i tried 1 : .logo { display:inline; }

i tried 2 : .logo { display:inline-block; }

I can not get it, may be today is not my best day to get on it...
