how can we select or refer to 3 <a>-links inside <li>s that are in a <ul> wich is in a <nav>?

querSelectAll doesn't work, getElementsByTagName doesn't work, getElementsByClassName either.. So, either tell me how to solve this or tell me how to skip this error

This actually does work with querySelectorAll(). Did you maybe use querySelectAll instead like you wrote in the question? This should work:

const links = document.querySelectorAll("nav ul li a");

Remember that this doesn't return an element, but an array and you can access each single element with a <for> loop.

Thanx Valerie, maybe I really made a typo and got confused :) Thank you again for detailed explanation.
