padding-left mysteriously vanishes from list object

Sent by Sandy on 21 October 2008 16:04


Hey all,

I have a problem that has me flummoxed, and I hope someone out there can 
help.

I am working on a little site that has a 2 row menu which needs to 
appear as a box, with the second row the same width as the first. This 
is working fine in everything but IE, which is not displaying the 
padding-left on the first box in the second row, for some mysterious 
reason. The text in that box appears flush with the left of the box.

Here is the little site:

Here is the style sheet:

And here are the tests which I have used to bang my head against the wall:

test1
http://sandyfeldman.com/ondemande/test1.html
no style on "ressources"
no padding on the left, padding on the right is fine

test2
http://sandyfeldman.com/ondemande/test2.html
no style on "ressources" or "configuration"
no padding on the left of "ressources", "configuration" is fine

test3
http://sandyfeldman.com/ondemande/test3.html
padding-left : 47px on "ressources"
the padding shows up on "ressources", "configuration" is fine. Aha, I 
think, the padding needs to be expressed in px not in em

test4
http://sandyfeldman.com/ondemande/test4.html
padding in px on "ressources" and "configuration"
no padding on the left of "ressources", "configuration" is fine

test5
http://sandyfeldman.com/ondemande/test5.html
padding-left only on "ressources" and padding-left and right on 
"configuration"
no padding on the left of "ressources"

test6
http://sandyfeldman.com/ondemande/test6.html
padding on <li> instead of link just doesn't work.

Now, I don't exactly give up yet, but I can't think what's going on!

thanks, in advance, for your help.
Sandy
