Adding 2 images under a single div

I have been trying to add two images under a single div, but they aren't displaying the way I wanted.

I want to have space between the images, which is not happening.

Here is the css,

.sidebarBody {
    text-align:center;
    padding: 5px;
}

And this is the HTML,

<div class='sidebarBody'>
    <img src="r.gif" />
    <img src="s.gif" />
</div>

Why isn't the padding working on all sides ? The second image is displayed right after the first without any space.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Your css does not put any padding around the images, it only tells it to do the enclosing <div>. Use the following:

.sidebarBody img {
   text-align:center;
   padding: 5px;
}

This tells the browser to add a 5px padding to every image inside of .sidebarBody (the div class).
