Opera 5 Mac, padding not showing

Okay, I'm new, be gentle guys1

My site, www.the-best-resume.com is shaping up nicely. However in Opera 5 for the Mac, the padding on my boxed (bordered) links is not showing up.

It appears to work in IE5.1 Mac and in Netscape 7, just fine.

Is the opera thing a bug, does anyone know a work-around?

Here are the styles I am using to get the boxed links with the css mouseover effect.

a.two:link {
color: #f69;
padding: 3px;
border: 2px solid #f69;
background-color: #cff;
text-decoration: none;
}

a.two:visited {
color: #f69;
padding: 3px;
border: 2px solid #f69;
background-color: #cff;
text-decoration: none;
}

a.two:hover{
padding: 3px;
border: 2px dashed #09f;
background-color: #ffc;
text-decoration: none;
}

a.two:active {
color: #f69;
padding: 3px;
border: 2px solid #f69;
background-color: #cff;
text-decoration: none;
}

Any help would be appreciated.
