## Description
|
|
<section id='description'>
|
|
The last several challenges all set an element's margin or padding with pixels (<code>px</code>). Pixels are a type of length unit, which is what tells the browser how to size or space an item. In addition to <code>px</code>, CSS has a number of different length unit options that you can use.
|
|
The two main types of length units are absolute and relative. Absolute units tie to physical units of length. For example, <code>in</code> and <code>mm</code> refer to inches and millimeters, respectively. Absolute length units approximate the actual measurement on a screen, but there are some differences depending on a screen's resolution.
|
|
Relative units, such as <code>em</code> or <code>rem</code>, are relative to another length value. For example, <code>em</code> is based on the size of an element's font. If you use it to set the <code>font-size</code> property itself, it's relative to the parent's <code>font-size</code>.
|
|
<strong>Note</strong><br>There are several relative unit options that are tied to the size of the viewport. They are covered in the Responsive Web Design Principles section.

|
|
testString: assert($('.red-box').css('padding-top') != '0px' && $('.red-box').css('padding-right') != '0px' && $('.red-box').css('padding-bottom') != '0px' && $('.red-box').css('padding-left') != '0px', 'Your <code>red-box</code> class should have a <code>padding</code> property.');
|
|
- text: Your <code>red-box</code> class should give elements 1.5em of <code>padding</code>.
|
|
testString: assert(code.match(/\.red-box\s*?{\s*?.*?\s*?.*?\s*?padding:\s*?1\.5em/gi), 'Your <code>red-box</code> class should give elements 1.5em of <code>padding</code>.');
