Hello,
Student just learning HTML trying to do a basic web page. Having an issue with making a menu bar, would like to have a basic menu horizontal across the screen and can not seem to get the code correct. Can you please advise?

<Nav>
<ul>
<nav class="banner">

<li><a href="#">INDEX</a></li>
<li><a href="#">ABOUT</a></li>
<li><a href="#">FAVORITES</a></li>
<ul/>





<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css">

</nav>


(Second File Stylesheet)

@charset "UTF-8";
article, aside, footer, header, main, nav, section {
display: block;
}

Html, body, h1, h2, h3, ul, li, a, p,
article, aside, footer, header, main, nav, section {
padding:0;
margin:0:
}

.banner {
background-color:orange;
color:black;
padding: 20px 30px;
}

You have two NAV but have closed only one of them. <nav class="banner"> is between UL and LI. You can have nothing there. Lists and tables are kind of thermos bottle concepts. They consists of several layers and nothing can go between the layers. Everything needs to be in LI, or TD and TH for tables.
You should remove that <nav class="banner"> and give the class to the NAV you have before the list instead. And the link to the style sheet should be in head.

One way to get a horizontal bar is to float the LIs left. You also need to remove the dots and play a little with margins and padding.
