You need to move the list-style-type: none to the li class. The bullets are part of the li class.

    list-style-type: none;
}

Is this what you mean? Missing the "li"?

Zapp is right it should be list-style: none; you have it as list-style-type: none;

Except Jason Anello is also right. list-style: none is just short hand for list-style-type: none and there isn't anything wrong with using it.

Hi Rana,

You may have a problem with the id in the html then.

The css you have will remove the bullets on a list.

Double check your html: <ul id="gallery">

There isn't anything wrong with list-style-type: none;

list-style is the shorthand property for list-style-type, list-style-image and list-style-position

I can't zapp, I've been corrected list-style-type: none; is also valid.

Np. I just learned that list-style-type:none works.
