Adding Pages to a Website Challenge task 1

I hate to not be able to complete a challenge and I don't want to move on until I figure it out. The question is:

Select the unordered list with the class contact-info and set the font size to 0.9em. Then, remove all margin, padding, and list styling.

I typed in

.contact-info ul { font-size: 0.9em; list-style: none; margin: 0; padding: 0; }

When I submit the work to get checked, it keeps on saying bummer! be sure to set the font size to 0.9em. Not sure what I am doing wrong. Any advice would be much obliged. Thank you.

Melvin,

You've got the right idea. The problem (as always) is in the details. Here's what you're looking for. Compare:

ul.contact-info{
  font-size: 0.9em;  
  padding: 0;
  margin: 0;
  list-style-type: none;
 }

Notice how it says "Select the unordered list with the class contact-info"? That's (normally) how the code is written. So you first select the ul, then specify the ul with the class contact-info. See what I mean?

   .contact-info li {
  list-style-type: none;
  padding: 0;
  margin: 0;
  font-size: 0.9em;
  }

this is what I put, i also got stuck on this one before

Thank you Clay for your response. I actually just now put the class type .contact-info without the (ul) and it somehow accepted it. That was pretty weird but again, thank you for your answer.
