bad87fee1348bd9aedf08822	Adjust the Margin of an Element	0	https://scrimba.com/c/cVJarHW	16654

Description

An element's margin controls the amount of space between an element's border and surrounding elements. Here, we can see that the blue box and the red box are nested within the yellow box. Note that the red box has a bigger margin than the blue box, making it appear smaller. When you increase the blue box's margin, it will increase the distance between its border and surrounding elements.

Instructions

Change the margin of the blue box to match that of the red box.

Tests

tests:
  - text: Your <code>blue-box</code> class should give elements <code>20px</code> of <code>margin</code>.
    testString: assert($(".blue-box").css("margin-top") === "20px");
