CSS

Possibly broken objective

I think the last objective 'List Styles' in the 'Texts, Fonts and Lists' stage of the 'CSS Foundations' tutorial may be broken.

In the first challenge it asks you to "Remove the list item markers in the ul." I entered the following code which removed the list markers when I previewed it:

ul li { list-style-type:none; }

Yet it was deemed incorrect with a message advising me to "Check the list style type declaration in your CSS. Is this down to my code being incorrect or is there something wrong on their side?

It needs to be ul { list-style-type: none; } This is where the list is defined.

Hope it helps

Yes that worked, thanks. I'm a dummy :-)

That CSS is both well-written and completes the task. I'd say in this case the code challenge correctness test is overly strict, as that's the code I would write in the real world.

What's your take Guil Hernandez?

I agree with you James, both would work in the real world. I had the same problem myself and had to find out what I was doing wrong here.

The code correctness test here could be overly specific and possibly a bug that should be filed with Treehouse support (help@teamtreehouse.com)
