Have a look at this pen and it should become clear what I mean. Thanks!

4,572 PointsHi Jason, yes, I just figured out the box-sizing problem myself. Thanks for that.
The idea was to center the button under the other form elements. Pretty much like in the HTML forms course here on Treehouse. I used the wrapper for the entire form, I just the rest of the code so you guys don't have to read everything.
Here is the entire pen.
The best idea I have no is to wrap the button element with a div and give this div some margin as needed.
What do you think?

Courses Plus Student 94,610 PointsHi Martin,
Can you explain what you're trying to do here? What is the purpose of the wrapper div?
Is the final look supposed to be a button with rounded corners and a border?
As Luke already mentioned, you have a 60px left and right margin on your button. Using
box-sizing: border-boxwill only contain padding and borders into the width calculation. So your button is 100% the width of its container plus 60px on both sides which causes it not to fit inside its container.
