css the box model step 5

Hi guys, been stuck on this for a while. In front-end development there is the css foundations where you have the box model sequence with the 5th step which is a code practice problem. INSTRUCTION: add an overflow property that will provide scroll bars if and when needed. I've tried everything i can think of but it keeps telling me i'm wrong. overflow: scroll; -webkit-overflow: scroll; ect... if you have suggestions i'm open. i would also like to hear if anyone else had the same problem since i made a bug report to support center but nothing was fixed.

Hi Ian,

overflow: scroll will put scroll bars up even if they are not needed.

overflow: auto will only put them up if they are needed.
