Hi, I am on the coding task and the question is the following:
"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."
I have entered the following code.
.contact-info ul { font-size: 0.9em; margin: 0; padding: 0; list-style: 0; }
And i get back this message " Bummer! Be sure to set the font size to 0.9em."
Is the code not correct???
Please help.

.contact-info {
font-size: 0.9em;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style: 0
}
When you select the ul with its atributte class "contact-info" you do not have to select ul tag any more. If you still want to select ul tag, you should do it this way:
ul .contact-info {
font-size: 0.9em;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style: 0
}

Courses Plus Student 94,610 Points.contact-info ulis a valid selector. It's a descendant selector and it would select any ul's that are within an element with a class of "contact-info"It's just not the right selector for this challenge.
