I tried the code up to this stage, the background repeat: no-repeat is not working.
I tried disabling each line and it just doesn't take the background-repeat line and I don't understand why. Please help.
Here is my code:
.contact-info a {
display: block;
min-height: 20px;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: 20px 20px;
padding: 0 0 30px 0;
margin: 0 0 10px;
}

Courses Plus Student 2,859 PointsMany thanks for your speeding response!
I am actually following the video of Nick's tutorial. It is adding icons for the contact info. The background image is at the codes below.
Here are the codes:
/**************** PAGE: CONTACT *****************/
.contact-info { list-style: none; margin: 0; padding: 0; font-size: 0.9em; }
.contact-info li.contact-phone { background: url('../img/phone.png');
}
.contact-info li.contact-mail { background-image: url('../img/mail.png');
}
.contact-info li.contact-facebook { background-image: url('../img/twitter.png');
}
.contact-info a {
display: block;
min-height: 20px;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: 20px 20px;
padding: 0 0 30px 0;
margin: 0 0 10px;
}

Courses Plus Student 2,859 PointsHi Andrew,
I tried, the no repeat works on two of them ( mail and facebook), not all. but the other syntax doesn't seem to apply now, such as the margin and padding.
/**************** PAGE: CONTACT *****************/
.contact-info { list-style: none; margin: 0; padding: 0; font-size: 0.9em; }
.contact-info li {
display: block;
min-height: 20px;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: 20px 20px;
padding: 0 0 30px 0;
margin: 0 0 10px;
}
.contact-info li.phone { background: url('../img/phone.png');
}
.contact-info li.mail { background-image: url('../img/mail.png');
}
.contact-info li.facebook { background-image: url('../img/twitter.png');
}

Courses Plus Student 2,859 PointsI have found out the reason why it doesn't apply to the phone icon now, I typed "background" only instead of "background-image"..... now just the margin and padding left.
