Quiz

Sometimes I'm doing the quizzes, and it checks my code. and I KNOW I'm right, cause I'll review the video, and it still marks me as wrong. What the heck does it want for the answer to the nested lists question??!

please don't answer this. I'm a dunce.

post the code you are using so we can help you out a bit more easily

no i figured it out, almost immediately after posting this. lol.

This is how the nested list is suppose to look like. Compare it with your code to see if you've made a mistake or not. Hope this helps.

    <ul>
      <li>Shapes
      <ol>
        <li>Square</li>
        <li>Circle</li>
      </ol>
      </li>
      <li>Colors</li>
    </ul>

Sometimes, I find the code challenges to be very temperamental and you must type what they're looking for verbatim. I find that usually I'm missing something very small, like a missing period or I didn't capitalize what I was supposed to. Although this has the added benefit of making us good, detail-attentive coders :-)
