Ah, darn it. So I was correct, padding-top is the right way to do it. I had a typo in my syntax:<br />
<br />
padding 0px<br />
<br />
Was missing the colon!<br />
<br />
padding: 0px<br />
<br />
Thanks anyway.

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
In attached code, the text is basically touching the top border of the DIV. I want to bump it down 4 pixels. Adding a margin-top moves the border and the text down. Adding a padding-top appears to do nothing. What is the correct way to do this? Thank you!<br />

<pre><code id="code-8165913">#exerciselist {margin: 0px 0px 9px 0px; padding 0px; width: 173px; border-top: 1px solid #c8cfd0;}

&lt;div id=&quot;exerciselist&quot;&gt;Exercise List&lt;/div&gt;</code></pre>

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a language used for describing the look and formatting of a document written in a markup language. Usually used to change web pages and user interfaces written in HTML, it can also be applied to any kind of XML document. CSS is designed primarily to distinguish the content of a document from its presentation.
