Padding not working on all sides

[mataichi]

I have been messing with this forever.
I have a class called LeftPad. Here is how it is declared...
.LeftPad { padding: 5px 10px 5px 35px; }

The only place I can tell it works is on the left side (35px). No other sides are working. I can change any of the other sides to 100px and there is no change on the screen.

Anybody know why??

Here is my use of the class....
<span class="LeftPad"><img src="images/bullet1.gif">&nbsp;</span><br>

I also try to do the same thing in other classes with the same result, only the left side gets padded.

This is driving me crazy! Thnx.

if that's the only instance of it, do:

<img src="images/bullet1.gif" style="margin: 5px 10px 5px 35px">

and why the nbsp if you're having padding anyway?

Inline elements don't have height, just left and right, which are working.

.LeftPad { display: block; padding: 5px 10px 5px 35px; }
You may have to then set the height and width of the span to suit your needs.
