Where to report problem in the challenge task, keeps saying code is incorrect when it is.

The challenge is to add an ordered list to an existing unordered list item. My answer was: <ul> <li>Shapes</li> <ol> <li>Square</li> <li>Circle</li> </ol> <li>Colors</li> </ul>

Is my code wrong? Thanks!

Hi Raissa, if you provide your code, we can take a look and see what is wrong. Make sure you wrap your code with three ` marks.

In the meantime, I completed the challenge, and this is what my list looked like. Make sure you added the <ol></ol> list before you close the </li> tag for Shapes

<ul>
      <li>Shapes
        <ol>
          <li>Square</li>
          <li>Circle</li>
        </ol>
      </li>
      <li>Colors</li>
    </ul>

Thanks for the help, here is the code <ul> <li>Shapes</li> <ol> <li>Square</li> <li>Circle</li> </ol>

  <li>Colors</li>
</ul>

Just as I said in my answer above :)

You need to change it from

<li>Shapes</li>
      <ol>
        <li>Square</li>
        <li>Circle</li>
      </ol>

and move the </li> that closes Shapes to after the </ol>. This will allow the list to be inside the shapes itself, and not below it.

Hope this helps you out!
