CSS CSS Layout Basics Controlling Layout with CSS Display Modes CSS Display Modes Challenge

looking up display value for confirmation, it's display: inline; for .main-nav li. I've tried several combos.

Think there's a glitch

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */

header {
  text-align: center;
}
.logo {
  width: 110px;
  margin: auto;
}

.main-nav li{
    display: inline;
}
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Getting Started with CSS Layout</title>
    <link href='https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Varela+Round' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
</head>
    <body>
    <div class="container">
        <header>
            <img class="logo" src="city-logo.svg" alt="logo">
            <ul class="main-nav">
                <li><a href="#">Ice cream</a></li>
                <li><a href="#">Donuts</a></li>
                <li><a href="#">Tea</a></li>
                <li><a href="#">Coffee</a></li>
            </ul>
        </header>
    </div>
    </body>
</html>

The first task states: Display the list items inside .main-nav side by side. Did you see the preview?

Yes. So am I supposed to add on to the first .main-nav or add another attribute?

Hi mate, just need to change your display property to inline-block, hope that helps

.main-nav li { display: inline-block; }
