This should be very easy to debug if I can see it in action. Do you have a link to the site where I can see it?

[mcsilvio]

its footnotelabs.com

the designs category is what id like a line down (essentially).

If you add "display: block" to the CSS the padding will show up.

You have a bigger problem however, with these stylesheets and you're already beginning to see the effects. You should not have all three and unless you have a good understanding of the rules of precidence an extremely retentive memory for the detail of each, you will keep tripping over yourselve trying to work out where to put stuff and whether it isn't working 'cos you got it wroing, or because something in one of the other stylesheets is over-riding it.

Your stylesheet.css is rather old - I don't now where you got that from. The other two are as a result of using the Classic Template. This template is intended primarily for backward compatibility with earlier versions of Zen Cart and has been hacked about somewhat to achieve this making for a rather more complex stylesheet than a new site needs and more tables-based layout than is the case for a completely clean installation based on the template_default.

It would be better to build your own template from scratch based on the functionality in the template_default. A little more work up front, but much, much easier in the long-term.

If you want to continue on your current path, then migrate any changes you have made to stylesheet.css and stylesheet_original.css to stylesheet.new.css and work in that one only, and delete stylesheet.css from your template directory.
