Add a nested ordered list to the "Shapes" list item.

For the life of me I cannot get it to work. I've read previous answers but It's not helping me. Here's a link to my code. Thanks in advance. http://codepen.io/anon/pen/piwtn

Your almost there mate, think about the question add nested (ol) to the shapes list item. So for this to work it needs to be actually inside the li>shapes/li>. Rather than after it. This way the dropdown is a part of the shapes part.

I can see you only need to remove the /li at the end of shapes and this will pass

Hope this helps

Yeah a nested list should go inside another <li></li> otherwise it will display an extra list rather than a nested one. Up vote and click best answer if fixed.
