element in the CSS selector.

Answer 1

You could get around if you just target an id for the address. But as to why this is happening, if you open up the rendered source in Firebug, you'll notice that this is the rendered HTML:

• email@website.com
• (555) 555 - 5555

The ul tag elements are rendered outside of the address tag, therefore the css fails.
