I keep getting a message that for pies I need to put the href="pies.html" I have already done this and it has worked for the other two items in the list, but I cannot work out why it is incorrect for the second list item.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Lists and Links</title>
</head>
<body>
<ul>
<a href="cakes.html"> <li> Cakes </li> </a>
<a href="pies.html"> <li> Pies </li> </a>
<a href="candy.html"> <li> Candy</li> </a>
</ul>
</body>
</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>

Courses Plus Student 14,787 PointsHi Alice,
Anchor elements <a></a> nested inside <li></li> elements. I check why the way you wrote doesn't work, and the answer I got is it's illegal/invalid to write in this way, kind like a grammar rule. Hope this helps.
