I am using document.querySelectorAll('.slected') and added the class to the other two links within the nav element.
let navigationLinks = document.querySelectorAll('.selected');
let galleryLinks;

Instead, you need to complete this challenge without modifying the HTML at all, and directly select all the a elements in the nav element

47,912 PointsPay attention closely to what the challenge is asking here. It's not asking for all the elements in the nav element. It's asking for all the links within the nav element. Links are a elements, so that'll need to be part of your selector, but you're otherwise on the right track with the first try in this list

3,488 PointsAny suggestions? I get syntax error when using nth-child.

Treehouse Moderator 91,252 Pointshow deep are the links within the nav element? How would you select them using CSS?

3,488 PointsI put ids on all the links and tried using querySelectorAll and it didnt work.
I have put ids on everything, and it stil didnt work. I tried selecting the nav woth querySelector and the wrting navigationLinks = document.getElementsByTagName('a'); and it didnt work.
