How come unordered list in <nav> doesn't get affect when you just do ul li {} }

How come it only affect in unordered list in <body> but not in unordered list in <nav>? (e.g. ul li {})

p.s this is first solution question in this video.

A CSS rule with "ul li" as a selector should affect every unordered list on the page, unless there was also some more specific CSS that counteracted it.

You could make a snapshot of your workspace and post the link to it here for a demonstration if you're seeing something else.

I've got the same question. The UL nested inside the <nav> isn't responding to the instructor's CSS selector changing color to lightcoral. What gives?

It sounds like a similar issue, but not exactly the same. Please start a new fresh question where you can include your own code and a link to the page.
