Inside the navigation element, create three list items with the words, “Portfolio”, “About”, and “Contact”. Don’t add li

Ive tried to do <li>Portfolio</li> <li>about</li> <li>contact</li> but it wouldn't work then i tried <li><a href="index.html">portfolio</a></li> <li><a href="about.html">about</a></li> <li><a href="contact.html">contact</a></li> and it still wouldn't work what am i doing wrong?

Hi Yaniv, You don't have to enclose list-items with anchor tags just yet. You just have to use li tags only at this question.. Cheers..:)..

Hi Ronen, make sure that "About", "Portfolio" and "Contact" are pointing to the right files. For example, in the instructions, Portfolio points to "index.html". I got tripped up on this as well.

Did the question change? It seems that way. Kush's answer is correct. Pardon me Yaniv, I thought Ronen had asked the question. Sorry for the confusion and I hope you found the correct answer.
