Roger, I'm sorry! You were right.
I was looking at the wrong element in firebug. What happened was I had a selector: #affils ul, #affils ul li { Display: inline; List-style-type: none; Margin: 0; Padding: 0; /* This was overriding the padding for the li */ } Thanks for your help! - Jon -----Original Message----- From: Roger Roelofs [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, May 30, 2007 9:54 AM To: Jon Hughes Cc: css discuss Subject: Re: [css-d] Adding bg images to list items Jon, On May 30, 2007, at 10:59 AM, Jon Hughes wrote: > That doesn't seem to work. > > #affils li { > padding-top:50px; > background:#339966; > } > > When I do this, the background color is only behind the text, and not > above it.

Is there any way to see this page, or a mockup? I have a feeling something else is going on, but I'm not sure what it might be.
