By default list items are placed on individual lines. Write a selector to target the list items with a class of .nav-btn

it says to make sure i have the display element but i already do

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
.more {
 display: none;
}
li.nav-btn  {
  display: inline;
  width: 120px;
}
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>CSS Layout</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">

Hi Albert,

The width won't be affected by display: inline; you need to choose another display type that will. Re-watch the previous video toward the end (especially at about the 6:00 point).

Hope this helps!

Display value should be Inline-block and forget the li.
