12,757 Points:first-child and :last-child Challenge
Can some please look at this? It says that I haven't set the border to none but I have set it to none.
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
.main-nav {
li:first-child {
border: none;
}
.main-nav {
border-radius: 0 0 5px 5px;
}

- you have a stray brace in your descendant selector, it should be "
.main-nav li:first-child
" - there should be only one rule for both properties, but
border-radius
is in a separate rule here - it's OK to use the shorthand notation for
border-radius
, but the order of the values should be:
top-left
top-right
bottom-right
bottom-left

Treehouse Moderator 27,696 PointsHi, Heidi –
The challenge is somewhat worded in a confusing manner; "in" refers to using a descendant selector. That said, you should only be declaring your selector once, and including the properties/values as instructed in the challenge.
Hint: You'll need to use the longhand version for the border-radius
properties task.
Hope this helps!

12,757 PointsThanks Rich. Here's what I did. The challenge is saying that I need to set the border to none which is what I did in the line above.
I had everything together the first time and I got the error message; that's why I separated the two thinking that's what the challenge wanted.
