HTML How to Make a Website Adding Pages to a Website Add Iconography

Can't get my pictures to appear :( I've double checked the code but still can't get the pics to populate.

CSS

/************************ PAGE: CONTACT
*************************/ .contact-info { list-style: none; padding: 0; margin: 0; font-size: 0.9em; }

.contact-info a { display:block; min-height: 20px; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-size: 20px, 20px; padding: 0 0 0 30px; margin:0 0 10px; }

.contact-info li.phone a { background-image: url('../img/phone.png'); }

.contact-info li.mail a { background-image: url('../img/mail.png'); }

.contact-info li.twitter a { background-image: url('../img/twitter.png'); }

Hi Chris, try removing the single quotes in the url property

url(../img/twitter.png);

or use double quotes

url("../img/twitter.png");

Hi Chris,

You are saying to go up one directory ../img/file.png should be img/file.png.

In the video, Nick says to do that as the main.css file that the css is in is in the CSS folder, so we need to go back up to the root directory. I'm a newbie having the same issue.

I AM WRONG! I wasn't paying attention. Yes, the images are being called from the css directory and not the root. My apologies for the confusion.

Jeff, you were probably busy racking up code challenge points. :) I had left a "}" off the rule right before so my issue is now resolved. Good luck Chris!

Hey guys, i thoroughly appreciate all the help. Unfortunately, I still cant get it to work. Any other ideas?

Show us all your code.
