HTML How to Make a Website Adding Pages to a Website Add and Style Icons

There's an error where the quiz won't accept a correct value.

In "Adding Pages to a Website > Code Challenge: Add and Style Icons":

It asked to set an unordered list to have a font-size of 0.9em. I entered this in correctly, but the quiz won't register the correct answer.

css/main.css 
a {
  text-decoration: none;
}

#wrapper {
  max-width: 940px;
  margin: 0 auto;
}

#logo {
  text-align: center;
  margin: 0;
}

h1, h2 {
  color: #fff;
}

nav a {
  color: #fff;
}

nav a:hover {
  color: #32673f;
}

h1 {
  font-family: ‘Changa One’, sans-serif;
  font-size: 1.75em;
  font-weight: normal;
}

img {
  max-width: 100%;
}

#gallery {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  list-style: none;
}

#gallery li {
  float: left;
  width: 45%;
  margin: 2.5%;
  background-color: #f5f5f5;
  color: #bdc3c7;
}

nav ul {
  list-style: none;
  margin: 0 10px;
  padding: 0;
}

nav li {
  display: inline-block;
}

nav a {
  font-weight: 800;
  padding: 15px 10px;
}

.profile-photo {
  display: block;
  margin: 0 auto 30px;
      max-width: 150px;
  border-radius: 100%;
}

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

Hey Docgunthrop! The question is asking you to target the unordered list, with the class .contact-info. But what your doing is trying to target a ul element that is nested within contact-info, but in reality the .contact-info IS the ul element itself. If that makes any since......But anyways, I've posted the correct answer below for you, have fun!

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

I really hope this helps! - Reggie Sibley :)

Maybe a better explanation is in order... Sorry I just woke up.

The challenge says to change the ul with the class of .contact-info. That means that somewhere in the html file there's the following code:

...
<ul class="contact-info">
...
</ul>
...

To change the ul's property in the css file, all I need to do is refer to it's class, like this:

.contact-info {
...
}

I hope that's a better explanation.

Hi guys, It's not a bug.

The ul has a class of .contact-info, so Reggie's answer is correct

Youre right, it works without the ul. I dont remember us doing the ul before when I went through this course....

I tried a few things and your code looks correct. I couldnt get it to pass either & usually I can! Bummer!

It definitely would have been nice to have had access to the contact.html file inside of the quiz for troubleshooting.
