margin-top: ${obj.marginTop}px;

I don’t know what else to do!! :persevere:

Hi!
You do not need the first ${

Hi Daniel,
Thank you so much for your help! But after I take out the first ${}, the code still doesn’t pass.
Here’s what I have now:

<p id="${obj.inputVal}" style="margin-top: ${obj.marginTop}px;}"></p>

And the system says:
Sorry, your code does not pass. Hang in there.

You should use string interpolation to set the value of the style attribute to margin-top: ${obj.marginTop}px;.

I’ve edited your code for readability. When you enter a code block into a forum post, please precede it with a separate line of three backticks and follow it with a separate line of three backticks to make it easier to read.

You can also use the “preformatted text” tool in the editor (</>) to add backticks around text.

See this post to find the backtick on your keyboard.
Note: Backticks (`) are not single quotes (').

It looks like you have an extra curly brace here

remove that and it will pass

You’re actually very correct. I’ve got it now. Thanks a lot. I appreciate your assistance.
