Menu Item background

I was wondering if someone could answer a question about my menu "button" images. I made some menu buttons for my page menu. When I edit the css.php to read:

Code:

ul.rMenu, 

ul.rMenu ul, 

ul.rMenu li, 

ul.rMenu a {

        display: block;                /* make these objects blocks so they're easier  to deal with */

        background: url(/wp-content/themes/atahualpa342/images/button1.gif);

        margin: 5;

        padding: 5;                        /* get rid of padding/margin values that these

                                                elements may have by default */

        }

I get part of the image behind the text but not the complete image. The original size of the button images is 150px*30px. I'm I missing something here? I've tried making the menu boxes that size but then the menu goes vertical. Anyone that can help I would appreciate. I've looked all over the forums and still come up blank. Thanks in advance.

1) try not to edit the code, put the changes at ATO->HTML/CSS Inserts->CSS Inserts - that way when you move to a new release, you don't loose your changes and have to go into the new release and make them again
2) what release of WP and Atahualpa
3) what is the url?

Alright, thanks for the advice on the inserts.
I'm using ATA 3.4.2 and WP 2.8
I don't currently have a url for the site I'm working on it locally using waamp.

Thanks again.
