CSS Margin problem

I'm having problems with a css layout where a margin is being inserted with
the wrong width. I believe it's my css that's at fault since it is wrong in
netscape 7.1, opera,7.11 and IE6 but I cannot see what is wrong.
The page with the problem is www.woodleyzebrasfc.com and the incorrect item
is shown under the left hand navigation menu under links. The link to ysr
has a margin applied which is causing the space between it and the next item
fifa rules. YSR is in a linkpic div, which has a margin of 0, but it appears
to have a margin applied which looks like 1em, the margin applied by
div#sidebar div, which is two levels up. I thought the margin applied
nearest the div has priority. The css file is at
http://www.woodleyzebrasfc.com/getcss.html

Can give me some clues as to what I'm doing wrong here ?

Tony

I don't have the time to play around with it to check but
my guess would be that you are wrong in assuming the
nearest margin has precedence...my experience is that
margins are cumulative...the margin applies to the
element no matter what margins are applied to
neighbouring elements
