HELP - Problem editing a macromedia tutorial

Ive found a tutorial by those nice ppl at macromedia here. However when i place another <div> inside their wrapper then edit padding, the padding doesnt seem to be working.

What can i do to get a working template so I can add content inside?

Here is the xhtml code from the tutorial

HTML Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
  <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
  <head>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
  <title>Untitled Document</title>
  
  <link href="CssFiles/shadow.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
  </head>
  
  <body>
  <div id="wrapper">
  
  		<div id="content">
  		blah blah blah how big is the padding
  		</div>
  		
  </div>
  </body>
  </html>

And here is the CSS code from the tutorial

HTML Code:

/* CSS Document */
  
  body {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  text-align: center; /* hack to force IE5.x pc to center our wrapper div */
  background-image: url(../images/body_bg.gif);
  }
  
  #wrapper {
  margin: 0 auto;
  background-image: url(../images/wrapper_bg.gif);
  background-repeat: repeat-y;
  text-align: left; /* re-align the text to the left after the above hack */
  width: 770px;
  }
  
  #content {
  padding: 100;
  }

Plain 100 won't do, you need to use units. Px is probably what you're looking for. (padding: 100px)

Thanx. I really knew it was simple. just couldnt work it out.

Shortened the css a bit too much i reckon
