Compass Help

Having trouble with this code challenge task 2 of 5

Next, use a utility mixin to make .main-nav a horizontal list. Set the float direction to left and the padding value to 5px.

.main-nav {

    @include float-left;
    @include horizontal-list(5px);

}

Any advice would be much appreciated

Hello,

I am not familiar with this challenge, but after reading through some of the Compass Documentation, it looks like the mixin horizontal-list() takes an argument for $direction. It could be that the challenge wants you to use this rather than the float-left() mixin.

.main-nav {
  @include horizontal-list(5px, left);
}

I can't say this with any certainty, but it may be of help to you.

Hi Vasil Dzhutov, try putting a semi-colon after your last @import.
