bad87fee1348bd9aedf08823 Add a Negative Margin to an Element 0 https://scrimba.com/c/cnpyGs3 16166 add-a-negative-margin-to-an-element

--description--

An element's margin controls the amount of space between an element's border and surrounding elements.

If you set an element's margin to a negative value, the element will grow larger.

--instructions--

Try to set the margin to a negative value like the one for the red box.

Change the margin of the blue box to -15px, so it fills the entire horizontal width of the yellow box around it.

--hints--

Your blue-box class should give elements -15px of margin.

assert($('.blue-box').css('margin-top') === '-15px');
