    Thanks, but that wasn't the case, to be able to edit the button more I used span rather than button and gave it the class name button but when I edit the width and height it wasn't being edited I figured how to solve it tho, I changed the padding-left, right, top and button I think there should be a simpler way tho

    It seems to me like you’re trying to select a class but you don’t have that class in your HTML. When you want to select a type of element (like a button), you would refer to it in CSS like this:

    button {
   width: 100px;
   height: 100px;
}

    The HTML would not have to have anything special added to it.

    Now let’s take a look at what happens when you’re using a class instead of an element selector (which is what your code is doing right now). The CSS should look like this. Note the dot in front of button:

    .my-button-class {
   width: 100px;
   height: 100px;
}

    Now that your CSS is referring to a class, your HTML must also have that class. Here’s how you would do that:

    <button type="submit" class="my-button-class">My Button</button>
