Courses Plus Student 19,663 PointsYou were selecting the class contact-info and a ul inside this. Whereas the question is asking to select the UL with that class. The code below passes the question.
ul.contact-info {
font-size: 0.9em;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style: none;
}

Treehouse Moderator 91,253 PointsIs it silly of me to suggest that you don't have a selector in that code block? :/
Jessica McGinn
11,378 PointsSorry - full code
.content-info ul { font-size: 0.9em; list-style: none; margin: 0; padding: 0; }

Treehouse Moderator 91,253 PointsHmmm. Then I really can't see what's wrong with that.
The only thing I can suggest is that the marking engines for sites like these can be very particular about where you place your code (.i.e. on which line) so maybe something is getting confused somewhere. But that code there, on its own is kosher.

Treehouse Moderator 91,253 PointsOr maybe you're trying to add CSS to an ID when it should be a class?
Jessica McGinn
11,378 PointsThis is the challenge for reference:
"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 thought it was kosher too...
Jonathan Grieve
Treehouse Moderator 91,253 PointsWhen it says remove the other styles, padding, list, margin etc, I assume it means just that, remove them completely, not set them to 0. Mind you, I'm not sure why you'd want to remove the list style unless it really does just want you to have the default style for the time being.
Jessica McGinn
11,378 PointsThis would be true if it wasn't a new code block...there is no css for .contact-info ul before I enter the above.
Can't figure it out..might be a bug! Thank you for your thoughts!

Treehouse Moderator 91,253 PointsLast thing before I'm completely out of ideas, refresh browser before trying again to try and clear out any nasty gremlins. ;-)

Treehouse Moderator 91,253 PointsAha! :-) I think Adam has it.! :)

Treehouse Moderator 91,253 PointsI've just done this exercise myself. Not withstanding that we know the answer is ul.contact-info, why is this the case baring in mind the video does it the other way?
