I could use some help. I am struggling with this one. I got the first one correct. This is 2/3.
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
header {
text-align: center;
}
.logo {
width: 110px;
margin: auto;
}
.main-nav li {
display: inline-block;
}
.main-nav li {
display: block;
}

So the issues with this code are:
- the new rule needs to target ".main-nav" itself, not the list items within it
- a value of "block" does take up a full line, you'll need a different setting
I'll bet you can get it now without an explicit code spoiler.

11,733 PointsThe question asks the following: The <ul> with the class main-nav is a block-level element by default, so it takes up the full width of its container. Let's set .main-nav to be as wide as the content inside it. Change the display of .main-nav to the display value that generates a block element that doesn't take up a full line.
And it looks like you did the following:
This is wrong for several reasons:
1) You were meant to apply those changes to the .main-nav and not to the .main-nav li 2) You need say display: inline-block;
Remember, an element with a display: block property will take up the full width of the page. But if you say display: inline-block; it will take up only the available space it needs and will also behave like a block level element. So the correct answer you need to give is:
I hope that helps.
