Problem with nested lists

I'm trying to complete my lists badge for html and it's asking for a nested ordered list inside of an unordered list item. I did as instructed but something is missing. Can someone tell what's missing?

Charles -

Keep in mind that a nested list should go between the <li> and </li> tags to be valid HTML.

Here's an example:

<ul>
    <li><a href="#">Milk</a>
       <ul>
           <li><a href="#">Goat</a></li>
           <li><a href="#">Cow</a></li>
       </ul>
    </li>
    <li><a href="#">Eggs</a>
       <ul>
           <li><a href="#">Free-range</a></li>
           <li><a href="#">Other</a></li>
       </ul>
    </li>
    <li><a href="#">Cheese</a>
       <ul>
           <li><a href="#">Smelly</a></li>
           <li><a href="#">Extra smelly</a></li>
       </ul>
    </li>
</ul>

Thanks Mark and James. I made the fix and earned the badge.
