float not working in Chrome for Mac

When I use the css rule ...

.main-nav li { float-left; }

... to float the list items on one line it does not work in Mac Chrome Version 74.0.3729.169.

It looks exactly the same as it did before I added the .main-nav li rule.

Try 

.main-nav li {
 float: left; 
}

with a colon instead of a dash

I actually typed it in wrong in the question. I did use a colon ...

.main-nav li { float: left; }

I downloaded the project files and previewed the index.html locally and it worked. I copied the css from the project file and pasted it into my workspace and it finally worked. Not sure what happened. I checked my css in my workspace several times to make sure I had the right syntax prior to pasting the project file css and it was correct. It wasn't just Chrome, it didn't work in any browser.
