Your code so far

I don’t know what’s wrong in this code. I have to add the top and the bottom margin at a p that have the class “item”.

Target all the p elements nested in elements with the class named item and set their top and bottom margin to be 5px.

Challenge: Learn Basic CSS by Building a Cafe Menu - Step 73

Link to the challenge:

I’ ve tried to do

.item {
  margin-top: 5px;
  margin-bottom: 5px;
}

but it keep saying

Your p elements nested in your .item elements should have a margin-top of 5px .

If you wish to target elements which are nested within other elements, you need to define the selector specifically.

EXAMPLE:

<div class="container">
  <img src="image-url">
  <p>Some text</p>
</div>

If you wish to target the <p> element above, you could do so like this:

.container p {
  margin: 5px
}

This will apply a 5px margin to all sides of the <p> element, but NOT to the <img> element or to any other <p> elements elsewhere in the code which are not inside a div with class ‘container’.

Your .item selector will target ALL elements which are nested inside the element with class ‘item’, not only <p> elements, hence you need to be more specific.

If you look at your CSS, there’s already a selector there which you can use for this challenge. You just need to add the required margin property and value.

thank you very much.
