Correcting the code challenge

I have trouble when correcting the code challenge. Even when the correct response is added I cannot get beyond the same error response. http://screencast.com/t/WGJVCCJK7k

You need to take the closing list item tag from the end of "Shapes", and put it after the closing ordered list tag that is below the "Shapes" list item. Look at my code above to see what I mean. Also, make sure you're adding in the correct list items - they want you to put "Square" and "Circle" list items inside the ordered list inside the "Shapes" list item.

In other words, the ordered list needs to be between the opening and closing list item tags.

<li>
    /* Put your ordered list in here*/
</li>

It looks like you're adding the <ol> between the list items of the <ul>, not inside the "Shapes" list item. Code should look like this:

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