Build a Simple Ruby Application Step 2 Challenge 4 is bugged

Step 1 and step 4 are the same, what makes step 5 impossible to solve because it assumes that step 4 is "Add a div with the class='navbar-brand'" inside the inner-navbar div.

They are wanting the navbar both opened and closed before you open the div for the container that holds the yield. You are then going to add the subsequent navbar-inner and container to it. The yield sits in its own div with a class of container. If you still need help I can post the markdown but I think that will get you where you need.

Yes thank you, but it tells me BUMMER! all the time. In Challenge task 4 of 5 the task is:

Add a div with the class "container" inside of the navbar-inner div.

Which makes no sense at this point. But if i do, i come to task 5: Add an a tag with the class "brand" and the content "Treebook"

a ... "TAG"? A standalone-tag? This is not declaring for me. Trying to solv this is not possible to me, i always end up with: Bummer! There is no a tag in your navbar container.

at this state:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Treebook</title>
    <%= stylesheet_link_tag 'application' %>
  </head>
  <body>
    <div class="navbar">
      <div class="navbar-inner">
        <div class="container">
          <div class="brand">TREEBOK</div>
        </div>
      </div>
    </div>
            <div class="container">
               <%= yield %>
    </div>
  </body>
</html>

I see where you are now and yep, I came to the same conclusion. At best, the test is extremely confusing, however in all likelihood you are correct and the challenge is broken.

Hi Binary Soul !

David Moore reached out to Treehouse Support the other day for assistance, and I was able to touch base with Jason regarding this Code Challenge. The task is a bit confusing, we apologize for that. We'll be updating the Code Challenge soon, but here is the correct answer:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Treebook</title>
<%= stylesheet_link_tag 'application' %>
</head>
<body>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<a>Treebook</a>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<%= yield %>
</div>
</body>
</html>
