Challenge Task 1: I give up!!

I'm totally stumped. I think I'm following the instructions, but apparently I'm not.

The instructions say:

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.

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

And the answer I keep getting is: "Bummer! Be sure to set the font size to 0.9em."

Obviously I'm missing something...but what?

Thanks...

You are selecting the unordered list inside a class of contact-info like below

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

Where to select the unordered list with a class of contact-info you need to do it this way

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

So if your selecting a selector with a class then you put the selector followed immediately by the class.

Your welcome. As a tip too in the forums, try adding replies as comments, rather than answers as it looks tidier :)
