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.

const blueBox = document.querySelector('.blue-box');
const marginTop = window.getComputedStyle(blueBox)["margin-top"]; 
assert.strictEqual(marginTop, "-15px");
