I keep getting a bummer response for the challenge to set the padding in the nav links to 15 px for top and bottom, 10px for left and right. The response that I get is: Bummer! The top padding for nav links should be 15px.
Below is what I have set up: nav ul { Float: left; margin: 0 10px 0 10px; padding: 0 0 0 0; }
nav li{ font-weight: 800; padding: 15px 10px 15px 10px; display: inline-block; }
Where is my error?
Thank you once again.

Maybe they mean for you to add padding to the link itself rather than the list item. So apply style to anchor (a) instead of list item (li);
Or maybe they want you to use shorthand (when top/bottom are equal and left/right are equal, like this:
nav li {
padding: 15px 10px;
}
