I'm in the process of developing a sleek SPA with the help of bootstrap 4.x.
Below is the HTML code I've put together:
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<!-- Required meta tags -->
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, shrink-to-fit=no">
<!-- Bootstrap CSS -->

.dropbtn {

}
.dropdown-content a {

padding: 12px 16px;
text-decoration: none;
display: block;
}
.dropdown-content a:hover {background-color: #f1f1f1}

After testing my page on a browser, I noticed that there isn't any margin surrounding the parent div, resulting in everything looking squashed against the edges. My goal is to add a slight padding (let's say 3px) around the entire container. However, when I attempted a quick fix by adding the style attribute style="padding 3px;" to the parent div, it completely ruined the layout.
How can I modify my CSS to successfully apply a small amount of padding to the container div?
