What is your DOCTYPE? I suspect your uppercase DIV and H2 is causing you some problems if the DOCTYPE makes the browser render the code in "strict".
It always helps if at all possible to provide a direct link to a page and a direct link to the CSS.

Please bear with me, as this question is from a CSS beginner. I am using the following: <DIV id="content"> <H2>CSS Information</H2> Lorem ipsum, etc. </DIV> This displays, in large text, "CSS Information". I wish to indent the heading, so I write: <DIV id="content"> <H2 style="padding-left: 5%">CSS Information</H2> Lorem ipsum, etc. </DIV> The above displays the same as the top code. "CSS Information" has no padding on left side (indention). Can someone tell me how I'm mis-reading the W3C specs?
