CSS link padding not working

[Epic]

#navbar a {
	border-left: 1px solid #5D5D5D;
	border-right: 1px solid #353535;
	border-top: 1px solid #5D5D5D;
	border-bottom: 1px solid #353535;
	background-color: #424242;
	color: white;
	font-size: 12px;
	text-decoration: none;
	padding-top: 6px;
	padding-bottom: 6px;
	padding-left: 10px;
	padding-right: 10px;
}

All the paddings work except for the top padding, which doesn't work. It just stays aligned to the top. How do I fix this? I don't have a live example, sorry. But basically all you need to know is that the top padding isn't working. :td:

Is this just IE, or all browsers?

Have you tried changing the bottom padding to less, to see if it drops? I have had that issue before, not sure why though.

Its the same in IE and Firefox. And yeah, when I drop the bottom padding it changes.
Which is really screwed up lol because it should work for the top as well.

I know, I have ran into that, and that was the only fix I could find, unless someone knows why this happens, because this is more of a work around than a fix, so if anyone knows, please let us know

It's weird because padding-top will work on other divs, just not the one I want it to work on.

try putting

position:relative;

in there and tell me what happens

also, is there any other parts to the navbar class? the problem could be elsewhere.
