Hi,
I'm having problems with margin and NOTHING that I do works. The code that I entered was 10px divided by 640px which gave me 0.015625 I moved the decimal point 2 places to the right and came to 1.56% - no joy. So I tried 10px divided by 800px for the container, came to 0.0125 and still no joy.
I even tried 640px divided by 800px and came to0.80 again moved the decimal 2 places to the right came up with 0.8 or 80%, then tried 800px divided by 6740px and got 1.25, however that would be after moving the decimal point 125%.
Simply put I can't see any other way around this, can someone shed some light on where I'm going wrong on this please?
Many thanks.

Courses Plus Student 4,750 PointsHi Daniel,
Thanks for getting back to me on this, somehow I managed it, I feel that some of these videos are too rushed and don't quite go into the necessary detail that I'd like, or maybe that's just me. Anyway, thanks for trying to help !!!
