Can't get rid of bullets in list?

Hi-- 

/**************************************
PAGE: CONTACT
**************************************/

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

I wrote this code to get rid of the bullets in my unordered list. What could be effecting the code that would make it still appear with bullets?

Thanks!

Relevant html

  <section id="secondary">
          <h3>Contact Details</h3>
          <ul class="contact info">
            <li class="phone"><a href="tel:555-555-5555"> 555-555-5555</a></li>
            <li class"mail"><a href="mailto:nick@example.com">nick@example.com</a></li>
            <li class="twitter"><a href="http://twitter.com/intent/tweet?screen_name=nickrp">@nickrp</a></li>

It might help to explain it is this whole piece of code that is not working the way I expect it to: 

/**************************************
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');
}

In your html, you have your ul with a class of contact info, but your css is for contact-info. Just add the hyphen into your html class name. Should work.
