DOM > Selecting Elements - Can't get child elements selected right

I'm stuck on this code challenge. I've got step 1 covered, but step 2 seems like it should be working but it isn't. For:

Next, select all links inside the unordered list with the ID gallery and assign them to the variable galleryLinks.

I coded:

let navigationLinks; let galleryLinks; let footerImages;

navigationLinks = document.querySelectorAll("nav li a"); galleryLinks = document.querySelectorAll("gallery ul a");

let navigationLinks = document.querySelectorAll("nav li a"); let galleryLinks = document.querySelectorAll("#gallery ul a"); let footerImages = document.querySelectorAll("footer a img");

Use the # to select an element by ID.
