After this, I'm calling it a night!

Ok, here's the stylesheet I'm using: http://www.johnjsal.com/msdn.css

and here is my page so far: http://www.johnjsal.com/g_camera_move.html

Two questions:

1. I have this bit at the bottom of the stylesheet:

div#banner span {
padding-top: 10px;
padding-bottom: 10px;
}

yet the text in the top banner does not have any padding. Does a <span>
not have padding?

2. But more baffling is this: You'll notice that the text in the top
banner, "GestaltCameraMove", is flush against the left side of the
banner. Looking at the stylesheet, this seems right because I can't find
anything that would move it over. Yet there are other pages very similar
to mine (that contain the same sort of information in the same layout,
using this stylesheet) that has a small margin on the left of that
banner text. If I make the margin-left property of div#banner span 10px,
then it will move it over, yet somehow those other pages have it moved
over without this property. Is there something in the stylesheet I'm
missing that causes it to indent?

Thanks.
