CSS CSS Layout Basics Controlling Layout with CSS Display Modes CSS Display Modes Challenge

The <ul> with the class main-nav is a block-level element by default, so it takes up the full width of its container.

No idea how to answer this question...... This is the 2 out 3 question.

this is my code: Also I've tried a variety of things and nothing seems to be working.

header {
  text-align: center;
}
.logo {
  width: 110px;
  margin: auto;
}
.main-nav ul li {
  display: inline-block;
}

**Ive also had 2 main-navs and they seem to not work as well so my last attempt was to put them together.

style.css
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */

header {
  text-align: center;
}
.logo {
  width: 110px;
  margin: auto;
}

Hey carl ,

.main-nav ul li {    //remove ul only target li here
  display: inline-block;
}

header { text-align: center; } .logo { width: 110px; margin: auto; } .main-nav li { display: inline-block; } .main-nav, .main-nav li{ display: inline-block; }

Hi Carl,

There is a problem with the selector you are using.

.main-nav ul li { }

This line is saying "find the element with the class of .main-nav then select the ul that follows it." - which doesn't make sense to the browser because .main-nav is the ul.

We want select the list items inside of .main-nav, so we can just write:

.main-nav li {}

Which says "find the element with the class of .main-nav then select the list items that follow it."

Hope this helps :)

The second question just wants you to target the .main-nav class. So if you create a new rule and then change the .main-nav's width to 100% of its container and change its display.

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

}
