[thelist] right-align with right-edge padding

Thanks Ben.  Agreed: it certainly _seems_ straighforward, but I must
be missing something... here's my CSS:

#BannerMain {
	background-color: #BD0000;
	color: White;
	width: 100%;
	text-align: right;
	font-weight: bold;
	font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
	vertical-align: middle;
	padding: 0px,30px,0px,0px;
	text-indent: 30px;
}

... and here's the callout in HTML:

<div id="BannerMain"><p>text here</p></div>

All is well except the right-edge spacing.  I added "padding" and
"text-indent" individually to see if either might work; neither did.

Thanks,
