💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'solid' which is a border style, not a margin value.

Using 'center' which is not a valid margin value.

The margin property sets the space outside an element. Using 10px adds 10 pixels of space around the element.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'auto' which centers block elements horizontally but does not set equal margin on all sides.

Using 'none' which removes margin but is not a valid margin value.

Using 5em sets the margin equally on all sides of the paragraph. The unit em scales with the font size.

3fill in blank

hard

Fix the error in the margin shorthand to set top and bottom margin to 10px and left and right margin to 20px.

CSS

section {
  margin: [1];
}

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A20px 10px

B10px 20px

C10px 20px 10px

D20px

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Swapping the values so left and right get 10px instead of 20px.

Using three values which is invalid shorthand for margin.

The shorthand margin: 10px 20px; sets top and bottom margins to 10px, and left and right margins to 20px.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to set margin-top to 15px and margin-left to 5rem.

CSS

div {
  margin-top: [1];
  margin-left: [2];
}

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A15px

B5rem

C10px

D2em

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Mixing up margin-top and margin-left values.

Using units inconsistently.

Use 15px for margin-top and 5rem for margin-left to set the correct spacing.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to create a margin shorthand that sets top margin to 10px, right margin to 20px, and bottom margin to 30px.

CSS

article {
  margin: [1] [2] [3];
}

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A10px

B20px

C30px

D40px

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using four values instead of three for this case.

Mixing the order of values.

The margin shorthand with three values sets top, right and left, and bottom margins respectively. Here, top is 10px, right and left are 20px, and bottom is 30px.
