Stuck

I can't go any further. As I've tried every single way...

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Lists and Links</title>
  </head>
  <body>
  <ul>
    <li> <a href="Cakes.html <a> </li>
  <li> <a href=" Pies.html"</li>
<li> <a href=" Candy"</li>
    </ul>

  </body>
</html>

I can see a couple of mistakes that should help you. I didn't fully review the challenge itself, but this should get you started if you fix these typos.

Should look more like this.

  <ul>
    <li><a href="Cakes.html">Cakes</a></li>
    <li><a href="Pies.html">Pies</a></li>
    <li><a href="Candy.html">Candy</a></li>
  </ul>

Hopefully this helps, if not, give an update.

Hello Corey. I copied and pasted what you just typed here. It didn't work, though. But thank you for your help.

Sorry, I wasn't paying attention to the names of the html files to pass the challenge. This code should work, at least it did when I redid the challenge. The problem is the uppercase names of the html files. Once changed to lowercase, the challenge should pass. Let me know if it works.

  <ul>
    <li><a href="cakes.html">Cakes</a></li>
    <li><a href="pies.html">Pies</a></li>
    <li><a href="candy.html">Candy</a></li>
  </ul>

Yes! Thanks. You're a life saver. I was about to give up this course. I've been stuck for the past hour. I started my free trial 5 days ago, and it seems so confusing. That I'm not learning anything...
