Code not working. cant figure it out

its telling me to select the unordered list and change the font size to 0.9em. Then, remove margins, padding, and remove all list styling. Can someone tell me what i am doing wrong. it keeps telling me, Be sure to set your font size to 0.9em

.contact-info ul { font-size: 0.9em; margin: 0; padding: 0; list-style: none; }

I just attempted the code challenge, without the class selector, and just used the ul selector on its own, and it passed.

So the issue is actually that you selected too much. When it asked that you select the unordered list with the class contact-info, it didn't need you to select *.contact-info ul{}* . There actually is no such thing, since the very the thing the class is connected to is the unordered list in question.

<ul class="contact-info">

It needed you to just select the .contact-info class since you didn't need to be redundant. Does that make sense?

Here's what it should look like:

.contact-info {
  font-size: 0.9em;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  list-style: none;
}

I hope this helps!!

Hey Steve,

Callum is correct. You will find that the "bummer" response doesn't always relate to the EXACT piece of the markup that is incorrect, so be sure to check through it all when debugging.

Your code looks good !

ul {
  font-size: 0.9em;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0 ;
  list-style: none;
}
