Having trouble getting marker.png to show up as a background item on li items.

Here is the HTML I'm working with,

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Lists</title> <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" /> </head> <body> <h1>List Properties</h1> <ul> <li>Viverra rutrum orci lacinia iaculis mi per fermentum tortor malesuada</li> <li>Id aliquam nisi accumsan felis pretium enim arcu fames</li> <li>Eros mollis sociosqu condimentum lectus cursus pellentesque et laoreet</li> <li>Rhoncus donec vulputate malesuada euismod nunc conubia netus, ante eros</li> <li>Sodales ante duis semper nisi malesuada senectus, sed magna odio at egestas</li> </ul> <ol> <li>Iaculis porta erat turpis aptent vehicula metus sagittis eleifend ultrices diam maecenas habitasse</li> <li>Amet nulla aliquam urna faucibus blandit cras id vehicula faucibus, auctor vivamus mattis integer elementum scelerisque faucibus</li> <li>Duis nullam accumsan conubia auctor aliquam posuere nam tortor mollis a</li> <li>Duis at posuere rutrum fermentum est, nec ultrices sagittis amet torquent placerat, sit senectus vitae sem</li> <li>Amet platea facilisis pretium hendrerit nisi aenean curabitur iaculis dictumst, class mi lacus ullamcorper at odio ullamcorper curabitur</li> </ol> </body> </html>

And here's the css I wrote along with the video to include the png as a background image on the li items, but it's not showing up. Any suggestions?

ul li { background: url('marker.png') no repeat 0 2px; padding-left: 35px;

Hi Alex,

You are missing a hyphen from no-repeat which could be affecting the rest of the style, e.g:

ul li { background: url('marker.png') no repeat 0 2px; padding-left: 35px;}

would become:

ul li { background: url('marker.png') no-repeat 0 2px; padding-left: 35px;}

Depending on how you're styling them you may need to alter the display property too.

Hope that helps.
