How come this is invalid?

padding: 70px auto;

?

First time this doesn't work, but it says invalid property wut? i don't see anything wrong with this.

Well it seems to me that you may be trying to center your container. In which case you would want:

margin: 70px auto;

Not exactly. But yeah, I had to put another property margin. But thanks.

padding doesn't accept auto as value. i.e. it's not a proper value for the padding property.

Good answer :) I didn't actually know that lol I can't remember why i put that on auto lol maybe I need a break but well good to know, thanks :)

It's quite obvious that padding won't accept value auto as that's illogical but eh, i need a break and eat something lol
