HTML HTML Basics Getting Started with HTML Lists and Links Challenge

HTML Basics lists and links code challenge - Make text inside unordered list links (possible bug??)

At a bit of a loss here. I've tried this challenge on Chrome and internet explorer, and still get the same result: "Bummer! You need to set the 'href' attribute of the second <a> element to 'pies.html'."

As far as I can tell, the list and hrefs are correct. Or maybe I'm just blind.

Is this a bug or is there something I'm missing?

This is the task:

"Make the text inside each list item a link. The first item should link to cakes.html, the second to pies.html and the third to candy.html."

index.html 
<!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>

You should put your <a> tags inside the <li> tags 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>

I hope this solves the issue.

Thanks. I'll try this. I did it the way I did because of the video tutorial, but I'll see if this will work as well.
