Contact icons not appearing.

Here is my markup:

   <ul class="contact-info">
          <li class="phone"><a href="tel:555-6425">555-6425</a></li>
   </ul>

And here is my CSS:

   .contact-info li.phone a {
      background-image: url('../img.phone.png');
   }

Yet no icon is appearing. What am I missing?

Hi Zach - I cleaned up your code a bit. For future reference, you can surround your code with back-tics like this to get it to look beter:

Here's my HTML:

```HTML

[html code here]

```

And here's my CSS:

```CSS

[css code here]

```

Hi, Zach

The url value of the background-image property is invalid: 

.contact-info li.phone a { 
  background-image: url('../img.phone.png'); 
}

As img is a directory, it requires a forward slash (/) after it instead of a period (.).

.contact-info li.phone a { 
  background-image: url('../img/phone.png'); 
}

Hope this helps.

Mick
