Background Size???

This challenge is telling me to set the background size to 20px. Is my code wrong? It won't let me pass.

''' .contact-info a { display: block; min-height: 20px; background: no-repeat; background-size: 20px; padding: 0 0 30px; ,,,

you need to set a width and height for background size to make it 20px square:

 background-size: 20px 20px;

also be sure you set your padding correctly as well:

 padding: 0 0 0 30px;

Nicholas, for "background-size", change your semicolon to a colon ':'

here is my code, it still won't let me pass saying "did you set the background size for contact info links to 20px?" Please help. Also, there's no way to "skip a question" and just move on in case you can't find the answer?

.contact-info a{
    display: block;
  min-height: 20px;
  background: no-repeat;
  background-size; 20px 20px;
  padding: 0 0 0 30px;
}

.contact-info a { display: block; min-height: 20px; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-size: 20px 20px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 30px; }

I am not sure why but I had to copy the "padding: 0px 0px 0px 30px;" and change the values from an example I found here http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_padding.asp to get mine to work. I went back several times trying to recreate the answer but the only way it would work is by copying and pasting. I assume it was an unseen spacing oversight on my part but I can't be sure. My above code does complete this question correctly though.
