"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'm reviewing and having a bit of trouble with this. Here's my code:
```html
.contact-info ul{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style: none;
font-size: 0.9em;
}
```
I'm sure it's something simple I'm missing. Here's the challenge: http://teamtreehouse.com/library/add-and-style-icons -Steven

3,590 PointsThe way you have written your selectors, what you are actually doing is telling the browser to look for a ul that is inside an element with class contact-info, which in turn is inside the html.
Simply saying .contact-info (an element with the class contact-info), or if you need to be more specific, ul.contact-info (an unordered list with the class contact-info) should be enough. The properties look fine.

Remove the ul after the selector. Just use .contact-info I found that once I removed the ul it allowed me to move forward.

.contact-info ul{ margin: 0; padding: 0; list-style: none; font-size: 0.9em; }
...and I can't pass question 1 ...what have I done wrong?
Thank you.

2,658 PointsIt's not working for me :( What selector do you use? I've tried ul .contact-info, ul.contact-info, .contact-info ul, .contact-info but none of them work :(
Heather Stone
2,658 PointsI refreshed it and just .contact-info worked :)
Nachiket Kumar
3,590 PointsHeather Stone, I hope you understood why .contact-info worked, I think my original answer above makes it quite clear. All your other permutations are selecting different elements, which don't exist.

4,151 Pointsi do the exactly as what you said,
.contact-info ul{ margin: 0; padding: 0; list-style: none; font-size: 0.9em; }
but it shows "Be sure to set the font size to 0.9em."
I can't get it. where is the mistake?

6,201 PointsHi, I have done it correctly per instruction, knowledge and forum and it is still showing as incorrect? Any suggestions? I just read through the forum notes again and realized that I had to remove the ul in order for it to work.

3,590 PointsI might have misunderstood- you might have been trying to format the markdown to show code (it should be css, not html).
In which case if your selector is
.contact-info ul, you are still asking to select aulinside an element with classcontact-info.
