background-repeat and value no-repeat not working

This one has got me stuck?

I have the syntax right I think in my main CSS

.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; }

On my workspace the property and value is stating an error "background-repeat: no-repeat;"

If I put "background-repeat etc.." below background size then the value works (no-repeat), but then background-size fails because icons appear oversized on the left.

Is it some order formation I am missing?

From the code that you have posted. You are missing a ; after min-height: 20px

Yes I agree with Cody Coars, your missing the ; after min-height. Otherwise the code looks fine.

A TIP:

When you pos the code HTML or CSS you should allways write it like that 

<p>Look here , don't use the email symbol and spaces</p>

@``` HTML

<!-- paste your code here -->

@```

For HTML use HTML for CSS use CSS . This will help you when you will have a bigger issue and more code. it would be easier for us to figure it out because as you see the code get messi and hard to read and it will take a lot of time to put it nice and nit .

Thanks Cody and Aurelian :)

After posting my question, I figured it out via doing the code challenge.

Sorry Aurelian still trying to workout the markdown option, not fully getting it but eventfully my brain will get it :)
