I have some generated HTML which is as follows:-

I was expecting that setting the following would do it:-
.folder { margin-top: 0; padding-top: 0; font-weight: bolder; border-width: thin; border-color: blue; background-color: cyan; padding-left: 2px; padding-right: 9px; background: url(closed.gif) no-repeat right center; }The font-weight CSS is having its effect, changing it does change the font weight, but the colours (e.g. the background colour) have no effect at all, and nor do the margin/padding/border settings.
What am I doing wrong? Is there some 'outer' CSS that has priority over these settings? If so how can I override it?
You'll be hitting the padding on the p tag, if the p was of class folder, rather than the contained a, you'd be quids in.
So if I wrap the three paragraphs with the contained <a> in them in a further <div> then setting the margin/padding/border on that should have some effect?
I'll go and do some playing. :-)
