HTML > List > Code Challenge

Hello,

Need some help on the Code Challenge for the HTML > List videos. The challenge is to add a "nested ordered list to the 'Shapes' list item". Here's my code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>HTML Lists Challenge</title>
  </head>
  <body>

    <h1>HTML Lists Challenge</h1>

    <!-- Write your code below -->
    <ol>
      <li>Stop</li>
      <li>Drop</li>
      <li>Roll</li>
    </ol>
    <ul>
      <li>Shapes</li>
        <ol>
          <li>Triangle</li>
          <li>Square</li>
          <li>Circle</li>
          <li>Rectangle</li>
        </ol>
      <li>Colors</li>
    </ul>

  </body>
</html>

It keeps telling me that it's wrong and that I need to "Try adding the ordered list inside the list item 'Shapes'". Help Please! Thank you in advance :)

Hi Javier,

It looks like you need to put your closing list item tag </li> for shapes after the closing tag for your nested list:

 <li>Shapes
    <ol>
       <li>Triangle</li>
       <li>Square</li>
       <li>Circle</li>
       <li>Rectangle</li>
    </ol>
  </li>

Looks like that did the trick, thank you Ryan!
