Leading whitespace in Cat menu after applying padding

thexande · #1 Jan 20, 2014, 12:14 PM

Greetings all and juggledad,

I am building a site using wordpress v3.8 and Atahualpa 3.7.13. After applying the following css to add padding to the menu table in order to gain space between items, the padding has seemed to be inherited by the contents of the table (or the menu items). I am using the following css to achieve the desired padding within my menu.

Code:

ul#rmenu2 li{
	float: left;
	margin-right:47px ;
}

Attached is an image describing the problem I am experiencing.

How can I ensure the background color for the entire element?
