Code Challenge: width, height, overflow..

Currently, the width of the div with the class 'main' is set to 400px, but the padding applied is adding an extra 40 pixels to its total width. Add a property that forces the padding into the width of the div.

cannot seem to figure this out for the life of me.

thanks in advance!

It's hard for us to know what issue you are having if you don't show us your code. For some tips on how to do that, check out the tips for asking questions video located in the right hand sidebar.

Also without a link to the code challenge you are having issues with someone would have guess which one it is, to be able to test out their solution.
