you want to center the #menu horizontally. You can do this by setting its margin-left and margin-right properties to auto . Think of the margin as invisible space around an element. Using these two margin properties, center the #menu element within the body element.

CSS properties have the following form:
<property-name>: <value>;

color: red;

in your challenge, you are asked to set ‘margin-left’ to auto, and ‘margin-right’ to auto.
