15,190 PointsIntroduction to jQuery code challenge
In the build an interactive website course on the second step of the challenge, the task is to select all the list elements (li) inside an unordered list (ul) with the class of '.nav'
I used this code and it didn't work
$( ".nav li" );
I have also tried a few other css selector methods and I still couldn't pass the challenge.
Could somebody please help explain why I am not passing the challenge? Thanks in advance

Just a little more specific

Courses Plus Student 7,323 PointsWhile what you have posted is valid CSS that will in fact select all list elements inside any element with a class of 'nav', it may be that the challenge wants you to specifically include the unordered list in your selector. Try what you have, but with the 'ul' element (with the nav class attached) added.

15,190 PointsThank you so much! I was confused because I thought I was calling on the right class. I wasn't specific enough
