Challenge 5 of 6 - I have properly "Added a nested order list" but keep getting a error message.

I added the ordered list nested under the list item shapes.... but the code challenge doesn't seem to decipher my code correctly.

Did you put the nested ordered list before the closing </li> for shapes?

If you put it there the code should work!

<ul>
      <li>Shapes
        <ol>
        </ol>
      </li>
      <li>Colors</li>
    </ul>

Thanks.... All 3 responses said (confirmed) the same thing. The nested <ol> </ol> needed to be WITHIN the 'parent' <li>...</li>

Thanks for the help.

Placing your code here to view would help answer your question. Are you remembering to place the ol tags inside the li tags - after Shapes and before the closing li tag?

Can you post your code so we can see what is going on? I think Kate Hoferkamp's answer should help you. Make sure the ordered list is inside the list item.
