I'm a bit of a newb to CSS so I'm still learning. I'm trying to design this site here:
http://lolgfx.cookingwithcandles.uni.cc/wijaya/htdocs/wijayasearch.php
I have a problem, in the divs with the gradient background on the side bar (saying calibrated sapphires, single stones, free size gems etc) when I put padding-top on them to position the text the whole div seems to expand and leave and an empty space of the background colour. I've tried using negative marings on the divs under the gradient box (the lists) and that seems to position it but I think there should be another way to fix this.
The div with the problem starts under this one:
<div id="navbar2">
