When you visit the site, http://www.tiredofmyproperty.com/ERCC/index.php,
Without looking deep, I'm going to say that you need to fix the errors
first, before trying to get some padding to work.

2. This is a new document? Doctype should be Strict, as you aren't
Transitioning from anything. I would also recommend you use HTML 4.01
Strict, rather than XHTML.
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
Then revalidate.
3. You have multiple <bodyand </htmltags.
4. You are using fixed-size fonts, which means all those IE6 users with
vision problems won't be able to resize if they need to. See:
http://k75s.home.att.net/fontsize.html
and also note the notes on Verdana. Assign font sizes in percentage
units (100 of them), and set sizing for divs and such with em units.
Build a flexible page.

5. Centered, and justified, text is hard for the eye to follow. Remove
the text-align: center from body { }, and only use it in your Nav bar.
Once you handle the above, you may find you don't have the problem you
asked about.
