Adding on() to the $(".controls ul ") on line 6 doesn't work

Hi,

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here.

I've appended the code on line 6 to llok like this: $(".controls ul").on("click", "li", function() {... });

It works in the preview but when I check the answer it returns a null value.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Although that will also work, they are just looking for 

$('.controls').on('click', 'li'. function (){ 
//etc

You gotta remember that code challenges sometimes look for a specific text and sometimes a correct answer isn't programmed so just try a different solution if you can think of one.
