JS Selectors use jQuery to select all list items (li) in an unordered list (ul) with the class of 'nav'

I am writing :

app.js 
$("#container");

Here, you are searching for all unordered list that are children of nav.

The proper selector for a ul of class nav is $('ul.nav') , then you can find the li element inside.

Hope this helps
