## Description
Now let's put our Cat Photo App away for a little while and learn more about styling HTML.
You may have already noticed this, but all HTML elements are essentially little rectangles.
Three important properties control the space that surrounds each HTML element: padding
, margin
, and border
.
An element's padding
controls the amount of space between the element's content and its border
.
Here, we can see that the blue box and the red box are nested within the yellow box. Note that the red box has more padding
than the blue box.
When you increase the blue box's padding
, it will increase the distance (padding
) between the text and the border around it.
## Instructions
Change the padding
of your blue box to match that of your red box.
## Tests
```yml
tests:
- text: Your blue-box
class should give elements 20px
of padding
.
testString: assert($(".blue-box").css("padding-top") === "20px", 'Your blue-box
class should give elements 20px
of padding
.');
```
