I've been working on styling spans using CSS but for some reason, they don't seem to be taking the dimensions I assigned to them. I'm not sure what I am missing here in order for them to properly inherit the width and height values. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
HTML CODE
<div id="content">
<div class="forum-group">
<h2 class="header-2">General Discussion</h2>
<ul class="child-forums">
<li class="child-forum">
<a class="forum-link" href="#">
<span class="forum-icon"></span>
<span class="forum-details">
<span class="forum-title"></span>
<span class="forum-desc"></span>
</span>
</a>
CSS CODE
.forum-group{
width:948px;
height:259px;
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
}
.header-2{
width:948px;
height:35px;
}
.child-forum{
width:310px;
height:106px;
float:left;
background-image: url(images/forum-child-background.jpg);

margin-left:4px;
margin-bottom:4px;
}
