HTML HTML Basics Getting Started with HTML Lists and Links Challenge

I am getting the error: You need to set the 'href' attribute of the second <a> element to 'pies.html'.

Hi guys -

Fairly certain I have done this question correctly and that the system is not accepting my response. My 'href' attributes are all the exact same and I'm getting an error on 'pies'. If I am doing something wrong, please let me know!

Thanks!

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>

There should be no space between the = and the “. Does that fix it?

Also, the <a> elements should should be inside the <li> elements, otherwise it’s invalid HTML. The. <ul> element only accepts <li> tags as direct children.

Thanks Kieran.

The space was not the issue, but rather the <a> tag needed to be inside the <li> element.

Thanks for your help!
