css animations

trying to follow the blog post from here http://blog.teamtreehouse.com/css-sprite-sheet-animations-steps I can't seem to get my image to animate. Its a 490 X 110 sprite sheet with 7 seperate images. The first image shows up fine but it won't animate.

.ken {
  width: 70px;
  height: 110px;
  background: url('/imgs/ken-shoryuken.png') left center;
  animation: play 1.5s steps(7) infinite;
}
@keyframes play {
   100% { background-position:-490; }
}

and its positioned with a simple div.

Hi Ryan! There is a tiny typo, you forgot to put px or whatever units you want to use. here 

@keyframes play {
   100% { background-position:-490px; }
}

and another thing that can cause problem is prefixes 

animation: play 1.5s steps(7) infinite;
-webkit-animation: play 1.5s steps(7) infinite;
-moz-animation: play 1.5s steps(7) infinite;
-o-animation: play 1.5s steps(7) infinite;

hope it helps.
