Add a top margin of 50px

It's asking me to set a top margin of 50px I did it and I even tried it in my code editor it worked in the code editor but not on the website. Here's my code I don't think there is anything wrong:

margin-top:50px;

There are bugs people have mentioned, have you tried this? It should pass

div.box {
    padding: 20px 40px; 
    border: 5px solid black;
    margin-top: 50px;
}

Hey there, Leo.

Your code is correct, but perhaps you didn't reference the class?

I don't know if that's an excerpt of your entire CSS code or is all you put, but it should look like.

.box { margin-top:50px; }

Also, the call for adding the margin-top:50px is in task three of that code challenge, perhaps it's because you deleted the code to pass task 1 & 2?

Your entire selector code should look like,

.box { padding: 20px 40px; border:5px solid; margin-top:50px; }
