text padding within a table cell AAaarrrggghhhh!!!

[choazart]

Hello all,

I have been going nutso trying to figure out why my padding seems to work on the left and right but not on the top and bottom.

I have tested the class and it is recognizing everything but the top and bottom padding instructions.

I have pasted my code below for your analysis.

Thanks in advance for your help!

-----------------

.navlink {

font-weight: bold;
color:#000000;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif;
text-decoration:none;
font-size: 10px;
font-style: normal;
line-height: normal;
padding: 10px 0px 10px 17px;
}

Works fine for me, but you have to attach this to a block-level object, like a TD or TH or DIV. Otherwise, you'd need to use margin in the place of padding.
