Basic CSS: Use Clockwise Notation to Specify the Margin of an Element

Basic CSS: Use Clockwise Notation to Specify the Margin of an Element

Let's try this again, but with margin this time.
Instead of specifying an element's margin-top, margin-right, margin-bottom, and margin-left properties individually, you can specify them all in one line, like this:
margin: 10px 20px 10px 20px;
These four values work like a clock: top, right, bottom, left, and will produce the exact same result as using the side-specific margin instructions.
Use Clockwise Notation to give the element with the blue-box class a margin of 40px on its top and left side, but only 20px on its bottom and right side.




<style>
.injected-text {
margin-bottom: -25px;
text-align: center;
}

.box {
border-style: solid;
border-color: black;
border-width: 5px;
text-align: center;
}

.yellow-box {
background-color: yellow;
padding: 20px 40px 20px 40px;
}
.red-box {
background-color: crimson;
color: #fff;
margin: 20px 40px 20px 40px;
}

.blue-box {
background-color: blue;
color: #fff;
margin: 40px 20px 20px 40px;
}
</style>
<h5 class="injected-text">margin</h5>

<div class="box yellow-box">
<h5 class="box red-box">padding</h5>
<h5 class="box blue-box">padding</h5>
</div>

Basic CSS: Use Attribute Selectors to Style Elements

Basic CSS: Use Attribute Selectors to Style Elements You have been giving id or class attributes to elements that you wish to specifically style. These are known as ID and class selectors. There are other CSS Selectors you can use to select custom groups of elements to style. Let's bring out CatPhotoApp again to practice using CSS Selectors. For this challenge, you will use the [attr=value] attribute selector to style the checkboxes in CatPhotoApp. This selector matches and styles elements with a specific attribute value. For example, the below code changes the margins of all elements with the attribute type and a corresponding value of radio : [type='radio'] {   margin: 20px 0px 20px 0px; } Using the type attribute selector, try to give the checkboxes in CatPhotoApp a top margin of 10px and a bottom margin of 15px. solution: < link href = "https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lobster" rel = "stylesheet" ty...
