HTML HTML Basics Getting Started with HTML Lists and Links Challenge

Is there an issue with the UL cakes, pies, & candy exercise? It tells me to correct the <a> for pies, but no errors.

It keeps telling me to correct the <a> href, but it is not incorrect.

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Lists and Links</title>
  </head>
  <body>
  <ul>
  <a href='cakes.html'><li>Cakes</li></a>
  <a href='pies.html'><li>Pies</li></a>
  <a href='candy.html'><li>Candy</li></a>
   </ul>  
  </body>
</html>

Hi Anthony,

You were almost there ... as Ben said, link element exists inside the list item ... as shown below:

Task 1 of 2 (which didn't require the links that I can see)

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Lists and Links</title>
  </head>

  <body>
    <ul>
      <li>Cakes</li>
      <li>Pies</li>
      <li>Candy</li>
    </ul>
  </body>
</html>

Task 2 of 2

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Lists and Links</title>
  </head>

  <body>
    <ul>
      <li><a href="cakes.html">Cakes</a></li>
      <li><a href="pies.html">Pies</a></li>
      <li><a href="candy.html">Candy</a></li>
    </ul>
  </body>
</html>

Best of luck,

Dave.

The anchors should go inside the list items, not outside them.

Placing the anchor elements inside the <li> elements worked. Thanks!
