menu links padding

[blsbball]

Just wondering how can I move the links down just a little bit within the navigation menu. My idea would be to add padding within the parent div of the navcontainer but that doesn't seem to be working.

<div id="navcontainer">
<ul>
<li><a href="index.html">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="schedule.html">Schedule</a></li>
<li><a href="roster.html">Roster</a></li>
<li><a href="about.html">About</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Media</a></li>
<li><a href="contact.html">Contact</a></li>
</ul>
</div>

padding-top: 20px; on the #navcontainer DIV is working for me.
