title: jQuery - paddingTop animating issues?
body: <p>So, I'm building a site for a client and I'm trying to nudge the hyperlinks down when they're hovered over. paddingLeft works with this method and it moves the link over when I use it BUT when I change the value to 'paddingTop' or 'marginTop', I don't get a response. What am I missing here?</p>

  <p>For those who can just tell what the problem is, here's my jQ code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$(document).ready(function(){
  $(".sublink").hover(
      function(){
          $(this).stop().animate({paddingTop: "+=40px"},200);
      },
      function(){
          $(this).stop().animate({paddingTop: "0px"},200);
      });
  });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I just learned HTML/CSS/jQuery the other day so, I'm sure it's something simple. Thanks in advance.</p>
