What does it mean by "Display the links in the nav as inline block elements." ?

I gave the CSS property value as inline-block for property "Display".. But the challenger says its incorrect.. can you tell me what I have been doing wrong in here.....

What exactly did you add that property too? Are you able to copy your code in ?

Are the links within list items? i.e.

nav li {
  display: inline-block;
}

I just used the nav element in CSS... I think we shouldn't be using the 'li' here coz we are not dealing with any list items right?

Could you copy in your html?

Is it case sensitive? try:

a {
   display: inline-block;
}

without seeing your exact code its hard to give you a exact answer but try something like:

nav ul li a{display: inline-block} or nav li a{display: inline-block}

Also take into consideration that nav might be a id or class
