Can some assist me with Challenge Task 2 of 3
The <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.
I thought the answer would have been .main-nave li { display: inline; }
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
header {
text-align: center;
}
.logo {
width: 110px;
margin: auto;
}
.main-nav li {
display: inline-block;
}

4,334 PointsSorry, re-read the post... and looked at your code. Its asking you to make all of .main-nav to be inline-block and it looks like you have just selected the list ( .main-nav li )
so your code should look like :
.main-nav { display: inline-block; }
I think that should sort it....if not....i'm still on the basics :)

Treehouse TeacherHi there! Daniel Houghton is partially correct. The code he lists is for step 2 of the challenge. However, step 1 of the challenge requests the display type of the list items inside the main-nav
class to be altered. The second step requires the display of all of the main-nav
class to be altered. To accomplish this, you will need two separate rules. One for .main-nav li
and one for .main-nav
.
Good luck!
