The directions ask you to select "select all links inside the <nav> element and assign them to the variable navigationLinks:
You will need to use:
document.querySelectorAll('');
"All", because you want to select multiple links not just one.
Then to target the the links inside navigation you need to use descendent selectors to select the <nav> then go down to the <li> then "descend down to the <a> elements which are the links.
If you still can't figure it out let me know and I will give you more clues or the answer if you really want it. š
Happy coding!

2,381 PointsHi Heidi, thank you for your answer. My mistake was that I wrote:
document.querySelectorAll('nav li')
instead
document.querySelectorAll('nav a')
I don't really know why the ('nav li') version doesn't work while a li element include an a.

Front End Web Development Treehouse Moderator 25,178 PointsHi Yaakov,
I actually think ('nav li') would work but since the directions specifically asked for the "links" I think they wanted the answer to me ('nav a').
I'm glad you figured it out.
