Why wont this work?

So I'm at the HTML mastering code test and its asking me to put a Ordered list inside of a div under this Header called shopping list so i do as it ask and its showing up on the preview as I'm right but its saying I'm wrong....can someone help?

This is the code I'm using pay no attention to the slashes they are so the code can be seen i guess?

<div> <h2>Shopping List</h2> <br> <ol> <li>1</li> <li>2</li> <li>3</li> </ol>

</div>

I've tried putting no text in them I've tried putting food items in them but no matter what i do even if it shows right on the preview its saying I'm wrong...Is there something wrong with my code, because I looked it up and it said i was right too...I even copy pasted in the code from somewhere else and it said it was wrong.

Does it look like this when you're finished with Task 3?

<div>
      <h2>Shopping List</h2>
      <ol>
        <li></li>
        <li></li>
        <li></li>
      </ol>
</div>

Here is what I just used and it came up correct

    <!-- Write your code below -->
    <div>
      <h2>Shopping List</h2>
          <ol>
            <li></li>
            <li></li>
            <li></li>
          </ol>
    </div>
