4,127 PointsWidth, Height and Overflow Properties Box Model Quiz [RESOLVED]
Having a bit of trouble completing the Box Model Quiz 5/5 in CSS Foundations Second Edition.
Last instruction is "Finally, add an overflow property that automatically provides scrollbars if and where they are needed." My code comes back as incorrect:
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */ nav a {display: inline-block; width: 100px;} .main {box-sizing: border-box; width: 400px; max-height: 150px; overflow: scroll; }
Any ideas? Thanks! :)
