padding not shifting my logo - html

I have a logo link that's using a background-image (css sprite). All works fine, but when I try to add a 20px padding to the top of the link (to give it more space for user to click the link), the background image is not moving down. Here is my css:
a {
background-image:url("sprite.png");
background-repeat:no-repeat;
display:block;
height:70px;
width:70px;
padding-top:20px; /* give top of the link more click space */
}
And my html:
What am I doing wrong?
Edit: I think you guys are missing the original goal. My goal is to give the logo link more clicking space. If I use margin then the element link is pushed down, which does not give more clicking space like I originally wanted.

Padding won't affect the background-image. To affect the hit-area of the link, add padding and then change the background y-offset by the same amount, i.e.:
a
{
padding-top: 10px;
background-position: 0px 10px;
}
Here's a fiddle demonstrating the behavior

Try using the margin property as so
margin-top:20px

How to make a image inside of a button clickable [duplicate]

I am trying to include an image and some text inside a button element. My code is as follows:
<button class="testButton1"><img src="Car Blue.png" alt="">Car</button>
The CSS is:
.testButton1
{
font-size:100%;
height:10%;
width: 25%
}
.testButton1 img
{
height:80%;
vertical-align:middle;
}
What I would like to do is to position the image to the left edge of the button, and position the text either in the center or to the right. Using &nbsp works, but is perhaps a bit crude. I have tried to surround the image and text with spans or divs and then positioning those, but that seems to mess things up.
What appears to be happening is that anything inside the button tag (unless formatted) is positioned as one unit in the center of a wider button (not noticeable if button width is left to auto adjust as both items are side-by-side.
Any help, as always, is appreciated. Thank you.
Background Image Approach
You can use a background image and have full control over the image positioning.
Working example: http://jsfiddle.net/EFsU8/
BUTTON {
padding: 8px 8px 8px 32px;
font-family: Arial, Verdana;
background: #f0f0f0 url([url or base 64 data]);
background-position: 8px 8px;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}​
A slightly "prettier" example: http://jsfiddle.net/kLXaj/1/
And another example showing adjustments to the button based on the :hover and :active states.
Child Element Approach
The previous example would work with an INPUT[type="button"] as well as BUTTON. The BUTTON tag is allowed to contain markup and is intended for situations which require greater flexibility. After re-reading the original question, here are several more examples: http://jsfiddle.net/kLXaj/5/
This approach automatically repositions image/text based on the size of the button and provides more control over the internal layout of the button.
Change button display style to inline-block, img float to left. Add margin to img as necessary.
<button style="display:inline-block">
<img src="url" style="float:left;margin-right:0.5em">Caption
</button>
If you want to use image inside the button not in the CSS I think this help you:

Adding float left to the image works to an extent. A judicious use of padding and image sizing fixes the issue with having the text stuck to the top of the button. See this jsFiddle.

How to Remove Whitespace Around Website Banner?

There is a white border surrounding the banner of the website and it's really annoying me. It is like some sort of border about a width of 10px and white. This takes place at the top of the website.
I would have uploaded a picture, but it won't let me.
Anyways, this is all of the code for the banner:
.image{
padding:0;
margin:0 auto;
width:100%;
}
Is there any possible way I can remove this white border?
Edit:
I solved it by changing the image into a div and making the image the background of the div and positioned it to left by 0 and top by 0.
try adding border: 0 !important;
First thing first check image outer element if have any sort of padding margin or border, if yes then remove it otherwise jus give image width of 100vw instead of 100% .

Image next to Block text

Have a look at the menu link "Produkter" on http://marckmann.se/
I would like to add an arrow image in the right side of the drop down menu on some of the items. But since the text is styled into Blocks, it wont allow me.
Is there some way i could fix this?
Thanks :)!
In your CSS, for the #dropdown div a rule, add the flowing:
background: url('http://www.phillipsdepury.com/imgs/nav/arrow_small_left.gif') no-repeat right center;}
padding-right: 20px;
Replace your own arrow image. Also replace the 20px with the (width of your image + 5)px ...

CSS HTML : my drop down menu li is cutting off an image height

learning html/css here. I can't seem to understand how to tweak this drop down menu. I'm trying have to tweak it to hold an image and a name, then to have the links.
Right now the image is getting cut off due to the <li> height, when I change the <li> height to 100% it get some weird behavior that I don't understand. Any help would be really appreciated to learn whats going on.
image getting cut off
http://jsfiddle.net/FyU89/
odd behavior after I add height: 100%
.menu ul li ul li{
padding:0;
float:none;
margin:0 0 0 0px;
width:100%;
height: 100%
}
http://jsfiddle.net/FyU89/1/
Add to your css
ul.menu-drop li {
display: inline-block;
}
Fiddle link
Update:
Upon adding the new css rule you'll find the name disappears from next to the image on Chrome, at least it does for me. To fix that add a float: left on your image and the name will appear next to the image on Chrome, Firefox, and IE; you can then style it more to your liking. Fiddle link with the float change.
just going through your css and code, it appears that these drop downs would inherit the height from their parent (.menu), which is set to 30px. the images seem like they are set to have a height of 48px; this maybe causing your cutoff.
Add this to your css code:
ul.menu-drop li {
height: 50px;
}
That sets the height of your list within the menu-drop menu thing so its big enough for the picture.
