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

Your current code is trying to select an unordered list inside another element with the class "contact-info". You want to select an unordered list -with- the class of "contact-info".
This code selects any element with a class of "example":
.example {
color: red;
}
This code only selects paragraphs with the class "example":
p.example {
color: red;
}
This code selects paragraphs inside another element with the class of "example" (this is similar to what you are trying at the moment):
.example p {
color: red;
}
Hope this helps you figure it out!

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

Courses Plus Student 4,567 PointsHi James, you just need to swap the selector and the class around, so you end up with the code below:
ul.contact-info {
font-size: 0.9em;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
list-style: none;
}

15,645 PointsI think this would select elements inside an unordered list with the class "contact-info" rather than an unordered list -with- the class "contact-info".
edit: you've corrected it, awesome!

Courses Plus Student 4,567 PointsThanks Tom - realised the typo and changed it (was hoping before anybody noticed it but you're quick off the mark!)

6,619 PointsThanks Tom and Jordan, I understand now that the problem was with me mis-reading the task as opposed to my code. I will adjust my code to target the correct element on the page. Thank you for you help.
As I am new to Treehouse can you please explain to me How I close this post? Or do I leave it for others to look and learn from?
Thank in advance,
- James
