I dont know what went wrong with the solution I wrote -
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>Document</title>
</head>
<body>
<h2>Student List</h2>
<ul class="student-list">
<li>James McAvoy</li>
<li>Alena Holligan</li>
<li>Wade Christensen</li>
<li>Matt Krzyzynski</li>
</ul>
<script
src="jquery-3.2.1.min.js"></script>
<script src="app.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
const $newStudent = $('<li> Sam Smith </li>');
$('.student-list').prepend($newStudent);

Treehouse TeacherHi there! You are correct in that it should be the append
method. However, there is also a problem in the <li>
item that you're sending in. It contains two spaces that are not asked for.
You typed:
$('<li> Sam Smith </li>')
But the challenge asks for:
$('<li>Sam Smith</li>')
// Note the removal of the spaces on either side of Sam Smith
Hope this helps!

Courses Plus Student 41,372 PointsThanks Jennifer for the help i was getting a bit blindsided. Looking to far as i was trying to append the element before its time. So first you select the element. then you add it to the dom.(document object model).
