normalize won't remove list styles!

Depending on what you wants to do, if you want to remove the little bullets, you can type

ul, li {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
list-style-type: none;
}

I did the first suggestion that didn't work and the second I did as well... in one of the vids the mentor did

ol, ul { margin : 0; padding: 0; list-style: none; }

that was all .... and it worked ... I followed along and nothing. I will try again. Thanks.

I c ... i thought normalize could remove list styles ... I thought thats what I heard in the vid about normalize. ok i will try the second declaration you provided to c if it works ..... Thanks.

what I finally did was just put the declaration in another css file since still doesn't work in normalize file .. don't know why, but anyway thanks for the help and happy coding!

normalize does a lot of things, but normalize doesn't remove list styles. The pint of normalize is to simply create a 'base' across multiple browsers. Sometimes people might want list styles, so normalize doesn't remove those kinds of things.

It is also best not to put code IN your normalize file. Leave that as it was designed, and add any code you want in your own personal main.css file!

thanks .. i did put in my own in a separate file .. thats what I meant .. I didn't think it would be wise to alter the normalize file.
