Why can't I get my navigation for 'Smells Like Bakin' to float right

body { font-family: 'Nunito', sans-serif; color: #FAF3BC; background: #420600 url('img/bg-texture.jpg') repeat; }

a { color: #4FB69F; text-decoration: none; }

h1{
    font-size: 1.750em;
    letter-spacing: -1.5px;
}

h2{
    font-size:1.500em;
    color:#B3C34F;
}

.btn {
    color: #FAF3BC;
    background: #4FB69F url('img/texture.png') no-repeat right top;
    padding: 15px 30px;
    margin: 40px 0px;
    border-radius: 25px;
    text-transform: uppercase;

}

.btn:hover { background-color: #4CC4A7; }

ul.nav { margin:120px 0 0 0; list-style: none; float: right; } ul.nav li { float: left; margin-right:40px; }

It looks like you're not closing out a div in your html. There's a > missing and some </div>'s missing. I'm not sure if the closing </div>'s are missing because you didn't include them.

You don't have a closing > on the div grid_8 omega.

I haven't watched the video in a while but you have ul.nav to float right, but then the ul.nav li to float:left.

If that's how it's suppose to be, do you have the class=nav in your html for the ul?

Here's the html: <ul class="nav"> <li><a href="#">About</a></li> <li><a href="#">Cupcakes & Prices</a></li> <li><a href="#">Location</a></li> <li class="last"><a href="#">Contact Us</a></li> </ul>

I have it. Not only can I not get it to float right, but I can't get rid of the bullets either.

Can you put all of your css and html into jsfiddle? http://jsfiddle.net/

Then share a link to that fiddle and it will be easier to see all of it.

OMG ..... it works! Do you suggest adding spacing between divs ... so I can scan faster? I knew it had to be an html mistake but I couldn't find it and got irritated.

I'm glad it works! I'm not quite sure what you mean by adding a space between divs. Do you mean open a div and then immediately close it and type your code between them? Then yeah, that's what I do. And if it works for you then that's great.

Having good readability for your code is very important for debugging issues, as you've discovered. Adding whitespace is the #1 way to increase readability of your code.

Here's a great example of well formatted HTML
