Challenge: Learn Accessibility by Building a Quiz - Step 13

Link to the challenge:

There is a subtle difference between nav ul and nav > ul. I would use the one the hint is telling you to use.

The > requires that the element on the right be a direct child of the element on the left. So

<nav>
  <ul>...</ul>
</nav>

would trigger it but

<nav>
  <div>
    <ul>...</ul>
  </div>
</nav>

would not.

I think for this project the > is probably not needed because the ul is a direct child of the nav. But it is always best to do what the hint says :slight_smile:

not sure if I am understanding. still getting an error

nav > ul>
<div>
			<ul>
         <li><a>INFO</a></li>
         <li><a>HTML</a></li>
         <li><a>CSS</a></li>
			  </ul>
				</div>
     </nav>

This is HTML mixed in with CSS. You can’t do that. This step is dealing with adding CSS, so you can only use CSS syntax here. You did the following:

nav ul {
	display: flex;
}

The hint is telling you that you need to use nav > ul for the selector instead. I was just explaining the difference and I needed to use HTML to do that.
