<li><a href="cakes.html">Cakes</li> <li><a href="pies.html">Pies</li> <li><a href="candy.html">Candy</li>
Claims that the pies input is incorrect. It would be great if i could get the correct code presented instead of nothing.

Treehouse Moderator 145,858 PointsHI Kevin,
If you look at the code when you have it in the challenge, you will notice red squiggly lines under the </li> tags for all three lines. This means there is a syntax error in all three lines. The challenge is only pointing out the first one, because once that error is reached the rendering stops.
Here, on all three lines, you haven't closed the anchor tags. You have opening and closing <li> tags, but only opening <a> tags. Each one will need to be closed, so the line will be like
<li><a></a></li>
Hope that helps :)

5,452 PointsThank you! I restarted the exercise to give it another go and I realized that I was missing the closing anchors. Practice makes perfect. Thanks!
