It might be the blank line in your code or the platform doesn't like the formatting. I got this to pass.

.main-nav li:first-child { 
  border: none; 
  border-top-left-radius: 5px; 
  border-bottom-left-radius: 5px; 
}
.main-nav li:last-child {
  border-top-right-radius: 5px; 
  border-bottom-right-radius: 5px; 
}

Let me know if that still does not work. Good Luck, Stephen

thanks man that helped :)

I had written the same code exactly and it wouldn't work for me until I cut and pasted your code. In several other code challenges my code was correct but it wouldn't run without added spaces.

.main-nav li:last-child { border-radius: 0 5px 5px 0; }

it passed for me.

up and running, tks for help

.main-nav li:first-child { border: none; border-radius: 5px 0 0 5px;
