Help with HTML Challenge Task 5

Hey Kristi,

Are you putting the nested list inside or outside of the <li> tag for Shapes?

Here is task #5 in the challenge where it asks for the ordered, nested list to be added to the "Shapes"

 <ul>
      <li>Shapes
        <ol>
          <li>square</li>
          <li>circle</li>
        </ol>
      </li>
     <li>Colors</li>
    </ul>

    <ul>
      <li>hat</li>
      <li>boots</li>
      <li>gloves</li>
    </ul>

    <ol>
      <li>Stop</li>
      <li>Drop</li>
      <li>Roll</li>
    </ol>

    <ol>
      <li>milk</li>
      <li>cheese</li>
      <li>bread</li>
    </ol>

<ul> <li>Shapes</li> what is wrong with that?

<ul> <li>Shapes</li> <ol> <li>first</li> <li>second</li> </ol> <li>Colors</li> </ul>

You might not be passing because of the extra lists that you have going. Try using just the Shapes and Colors lists. Other than that, I think that your code should be good.

Oh, I think I know where you went wrong... I found out the hard way (trying many times) that often when the challenge is to add some sort of markup, the answer is to only add the tags for it, without any actual list items. So, remove "square" and circle" for the time being. I know that the aim of the forums is not to provide you with the code to pass the particular challenge, but I think it's necessary here to give you an example of what I mean.

<ol>
  <li>Stop</li>
  <li>Drop</li>
  <li>Roll</li>
    </ol>

    <ul>
      <li>Shapes
        <ol>
        </ol>
      </li>
        <li>Colors</li>
    </ul>

Sure! Happy to help!
