    <h2>Star Trek Characters</h2>

    <ul class="character-list">

Here's a few hints:

  • this challenge doesn't ask for a variable to be created or assigned
  • when you create a jQuery object using a selector, the selector should be in quotes
  • the tag name for a list item is "li" (an "a" tag is an "anchor" or link)

Thank you for the tip, I’ve need to work on not getting “a” and “li” mix up at times.
