CSS CSS Foundations The Box Model The CSS Box Model Concept

Why can't I pass this step? I entered margin: 50px 0 0 0; and it will not pass me. Also tried margin-top: 50px; ?

I'm trying to complete the code challenge, step 3 of 3 in the box model course.

I've tried all iterations of entering margin of 50px and still can't pass this step.

Tried the following;

div {
margin: 50px 0 0 0;
}

div {
margin-top: 50px;
}

Still no pass.

What am I doing wrong?

I just did the challenge to remember it. Try to use the class they say .box in the selector. I know you already passed the other steps, but I had no problem with any of them just using the class selector.

The first two steps passed without the class, hence my confusion.

Sounds like an overly permissive code challenge correctness check. Send an email to help@teamtreehouse.com with details from this thread as well as a link and screenshot so they can take a look at it.

Hi Joan, Thank you for your quick response and, yes, I realised what I had done just after I posted the question. I had omitted the class on the div. The first two steps passed without the class, hence my confusion.

Cheers Damian

Hi James, Thanks for the response. I found that I had omitted the class on the div.

All good now.

Cheers Damian
