Not seeing what I am doing wrong...

the error I keep getting reads " Bummer! You need to set the 'href' attribute of the second <a> element to 'pies.html'." I have no idea what it wants me to do or how to fix my code problem from here

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Lists and Links</title>
  </head>
  <body>
  <ul>
    <li><a href="cakes.html"Cakes</a></li>
    <li><a href="Pies.html"Pies</a></li>
    <li><a href="Candy.html"Candy</a></li>
    </ul>  
  </body>
</html>

There are two issues with your code:

  1. You are missing a closing bracket > on all of the <a> starting tags in your code.
  2. Link names are case-sensitive (This is not true universally, but is common) so Pies.html and pies.html are not considered the same URL.

If you fix the starting tags and the case of the links like this:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Lists and Links</title>
  </head>
  <body>
  <ul>
    <li><a href="cakes.html">Cakes</a></li>
    <li><a href="pies.html">Pies</a></li>
    <li><a href="candy.html">Candy</a></li>
    </ul>  
  </body>
</html>

Then your code will be accepted.
