4,483 PointsWhy is my code not making changes to width/height of my social media icons? It can only change the margin
Hi, I still have a problem with my code. I tried to follow Nick's code but my icon's are not budging with my codes. Only the margin seems to work. If I change the margin values to the footer icons, using the social-icon class in CSS, it does work and I can see the change when I refresh the page. But why is it that the width and height are not changing no matter what number I put into the value section? Is it the kind of image that I use? Or problem linking the class? Did I make a mistake in writing the code for the footer icon images in index.html, or the path? This is how I wrote it. } .social-icon { width: 20px; height: 20px; margin: 0 5px; } Attached is the screenshot of my code. Thank you.
