[thelist] Padding Discrepancy

Someone's not playing nicely.. ;) 

Here's the screenshots (win2k):

The template in question (with the extra 4px padding on):

And the code: 

.submenus
	{
	font-family : verdana, geneva, sans-serif ;
	font-size : 0.8em ;
	text-align : center ;
	font-weight : bold ;
	color : #000059 ;
	padding-top : 4px ;
	padding-bottom : 4px ; /* this is the line that's causing the discrepancy*/
	}

.submenus a:link, .submenus a:visited 
	{
	text-decoration : none ; 
	color : #000059 ; 
	padding-top : 1px ;
	padding-bottom : 4px ;
	padding-left : 2px ;
	padding-right : 2px ;
	}

.submenus a:hover, .submenus a:active
	{
	text-decoration : none ; 
	color : #000059 ; 	
	background-color : #FFD36C ; 
	padding-top : 1px ;
	padding-bottom : 4px ;
	padding-left : 2px ;
	padding-right : 2px ;
	}



Notes: This is still a rough template.  Still needs a lot of polishing and testing in other browsers.  Definitely not NS4.x happy (yet).  Preliminary comments welcome of course. 

Anyway, does anyone have a clue as to what I can do to make NS7 and IE6 play nicer together?  I've tried several variations of padding combinations as well as margins.  Nothing yet is giving me the same result I would like in both browsers.  It would be best for both browsers to carry that gold colour to the bottom and join the other gold line, as that's supposed to be helping guide the user to the other sub-menu(s) that will appear on the left side.  If this won't work nicely, I may have to look at using images instead.  Ideas, suggestions greatly appreciated.


TIA,

Mich
