Learn HTML Forms by Building a Registration Form - Step 60

“Change the margin property to include 1em on the top and bottom, while leaving the right and left margins set to auto . Then set the width as described above.” This is the requirement

im getting an error which says " You should use the existing margin property to include 1em on the top and bottom."

The code so far

The step wants you to replace the current margin property (the one between width and height) with the new value.

With margin, if you only put two values the first value will be set for the top and the bottom and the second value will be for the left and right.

So if you wanted the top and bottom margins to be 5px and the left and right margins to be 10px, you could write it as

p {
  margin: 5px 10px
}
