This is so confusing

Does anyone else find this extremely confusing? I wasn't able to get one of the jquery programs to work fully despite hours of comparing my code to his. Yet I was able to do the challenges.

It is difficult to answer such a vague question. What specifically isn't working? Tell what the code is supposed to do, paste your code in, and paste the error messages in. Use Markdown language to paste code-- it is 3 backward tick marks (same key as the ~), a line break (hit the return/enter key), the paste, a line break, and 3 more `s.

//When add color is pressed
$("#addNewColor").click(function(){
  //Append the color to the cotrols ul
  var $newColor = $("<li></li>");
  $newColor.css("background-color", $("#newColor").css("background-color"));
  $(".controls ul").append($newColor);
  //Select the new color  
  $newColor.click();
}):

This is for the last jquery project you do with him. And i guess I didn't really have a question, I'm just getting frustrated.

You have a colon at the end of your click function...at the end. Not a semi-colon.
