Yes, it's an old problem that browsers haven't implemented padding properly 
for img elements.

However, IE 8 implements it, but only in "standards" mode. If your document 
is not rendered in that mode, there's a large number of quirks that may 
affect the browser's behavior; probably the largest, yet incomplete, list of 
such quirks is available at

Although it is safer to use margin instead of padding for img elements, note 
that there's a difference: the margin has the color of the background of the 
enclosing element, whereas the padding (when supported) has the color of the 
background of the img element itself.
