    #menu is only supposed to apply to <ul id="menu"> but somehow it applies to all the <ul> tags. Why does it happen and how can I fix this? Thank you.

    html:
    <!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/day16.css">
</head>
<body>
    <ul id="menu">
        <li><a href="#">Home</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">About</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Portfolio</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Contact</a></li>
    </ul>
    <form action="" method="post">
        <ul>
            <li>
                <label for="name">Enter Your Name: </label>
                <input id="name" name="name" />
            </li>
       
            <li>
                <label for="comments">Your Comments: </label>
                <textarea id="comments" name="comments"></textarea>
            </li>
        </ul>
        <p><input type="submit" value="Go!" /></p>
    </form>
    <ul>
        <li>Hello</li>
        <li>Item2</li>
        <li>Item3</li>
    </ul>
</body>
<html>
    Code (markup):
    CSS:
    
body {font-family: sans-serif;}
li {
  display: inline;
  padding-right:10px;
}
 
#menu {
  text-decoration: none;
  color: blue;
}
 
#menu a:hover {
  text-decoration: underline;
  color: green;
}
    Code (markup):

    Works just fine for me. What makes you think there's something wrong with it?

    Uhm, did you only want to target the LI inside #menu? That's the only thing I'm seeing that's targeting everything... if so, change that to "#menu li {" instead of just "li {"

    Though I'm stuck wondering what the blue devil makes LABELs and INPUTs a list?!? Much less what the devil makes a lone INPUT[submit] a paragraph of flow text... bad semantics is worse than no semantics.

    Perhaps because he hasn't used a fieldset wrapper, and an unadorned button is invalid.

    The styles are working as they should when I try them.
