Hi. I'm stuck on this one. I'm getting my div tags muddled up. I'm not sure if I'm putting them all in the right places. Can anyone help me please? Thanks.

You are missing a few end brackets and a opening div tag right before the navigation ul.

33,235 PointsHi Avi. You've earnt best answer. I looked where you suggested and my code was a mess. I made the alterations you suggested. It's working fine now. Sorry I can't buy you a drink! Thank you.

33,235 PointsHi James, hi Avi. To answer your question James, I followed Avi's advice and looked near the top and spotted 3 places where I was missing an angle bracket. I'd realised that the number of opening and closing tags didn't correspond, which meant either I had 1 too many closing tags, or I was minus 1 opening tag. Avi was also right about me missing an opening tag just before the unordered list. It's all fixed now. Thanks guys. :)

33,235 PointsI seem to be struggling with this one. I'm not sure if I've put all the opening and closing div tags in the right places, or even if the numbers of opening and closing tags correspond with one another. What do I do, please? Thanks.
