CSS - What Could Cause No Line Breaks After List Items?

Can they play nicely together? What I have is a series of check boxes displayed inline with a short label next to each one. Problem is, when there are a lot of check boxes generated and it comes time for a line break, the check box gets broken off from its label. I've tried everything, the label tag, the white-space: nowrap styling. I can't get it to work.

So, how do I do this?

Hi,

I have an OL list (the numbered one) and the horz gap between the list item
number (as automatically generated by OL) and the text of the LI is too big
(according to client). Looks fine in FF but is bigger alright on IE (ahem
naturally .....)

I've played with the CSS for both the OL & LI styles even setting all
margins and paddings to 0 but without effect on the gap.

Is there any way to style that gap? Code below.

Kevin

<ol class="most_read">
<li class="most_read_li">Apples</li>
<li class="most_read_li">Oranges</li>
</ol>



.most_read {
text-align:left;
color:#808080;
font-size:10px;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-weight:normal;
margin-left:30px;
padding:0px;
margin-top:5px;
}


.most_read_li {
margin-bottom:7px;
margin-right:7px;
}

#leftNav ul
{
margin:0;
padding:0;
list-style-type: none;
}

#leftNav ul li
{
padding:0;
margin:0;
display: block;
text-align: left;
background-color: #000;
border-top: 1px solid #ffffff;
border-left: 1px solid #ffffff;
border-bottom: 1px solid #ffffff;
border-right: none;
width:130px;
}

for some reason I am getting black boxes, with the white outlines.. but in between each LI.. i get spaces? how do you control the spacing between li's in a ul?

whats the CSS for creating an unordered list that goes across the page rather than down with no bullet points?

Hi All,

I have a new site and it has a bug that I don't know how to fix. The navigation and sub navigation is done with a list that is styled with CSS to be horizontal. I am not an expert at this, but learned it from a site, but unfortunately can't remember where

The thing is, the site works most of the time. But when pages load slow, sometimes the list gets displayed as a normal vertical list and the entire "look" of the navigation is ruined. I'm sure I've done something wrong, but I don't know what. Are there any CSS experts here who can set me straight?

The site is http://www.thehousebreakingbible.com/training/index.htm

Thanks for your time, Dana

Hi Guys,
I am trying to incorporate a CSS file into an xml document.I have the following problem.

My XML file is:

<!-- example of an list item -->

<?xml-stylesheet type="text/css" href="styledocument.css" ?>

<document>

<employee>
<firstname>peter</firstname>
<lastname>lance</lastname>
</employee>

</document>

My corresponding styledocument css file is :

employee {display:list-item;color:red;}
firstname {display:inline;}
lastname {display:inline;}

---

Output in IE5:

peter lance
-----

The expected output should be peter and lance as list items with bullets preceding them and in red color. But my output is
peter lance in just red color without any bullets.

List-item value of the display attribute is not recognised at all.

Can u help deal with this problem!!!

I've tried the popular tricks to figure this out, but don't seem to have the touch.

In IE, the list item is 2px taller than in FF.

page:
URL Removed

CSS:

Code:

.mainNav ul {margin: 0; padding: 0; list-style: none;}
.mainNav ul li {border-top: 1px solid #27466c; border-bottom: 1px solid #021940; background: url('../images/menu_bg.gif') top left repeat-y; display: block;}
.mainNav ul a, .mainNav ul span {display: block; height: 17px; padding-top: 4px; font: 11px Verdana,Sans-Serif; color: #ffffff;}
.mainNav ul a:link, .mainNav ul a:visited {text-decoration: none;}
.mainNav ul a:hover{text-decoration: none; color: #9fb3cb;}
.mainNav ul ul ul a:hover, .mainNav ul ul ul ul a:hover {text-decoration: none; color: #3e5064;}
.mainNav ul ul li {border: 0; background: url('../images/sub_menu_bg.gif') top left repeat; border-top: 1px solid #627996;}
.mainNav ul ul ul li {border: 0; background: url('../images/sub_sub_menu_bg.gif') top left repeat; border-top: 1px solid #627996;}
.mainNav ul ul ul ul li {border: 0; background: url('../images/sub_sub_sub_menu_bg.gif') top left repeat; border-top: 1px solid #627996;}
.unselected, .selected, .empty {display: block; float: left; height: 21px; width: 22px;}
.currentPage {border-right: 4px solid #000530; margin-right: 1px;}

HTML on page (it's quite heavy)

Hi, I have a list of items, but when one item goes onto the next line, It doesn't align with the text above it. Here is an example. Look at the right hand column, and notice how the list items, when they go into 2 lines, the second line aligns with the bullet point and not the text.

Anyone know how to fix this?

thanks

At h**p://www.topofferspage.com in IE6, the bullet points do not have images appearing unlike Firefox.

Before anyone says it's because of validation errors, it's not. I can turn off the offending stylesheets just fine and I get the same problem.


Little help? Why would background images not work in IE6 but every other browser?

Hi,

I'm having a problem with some padding showing up oin both IE and Firefox with list items on my navbar. Please see:
http://81.17.252.110/~wallis1/new/

I want the nav items to come to the edges of the <ul> tag (want to make the white borders on the navigation items come to the edge) but there is this padding there for some unknown reason between the <ul> and the <li> items.

Please can you help as I'm tearing my hair out now,

Thanks in advance,

We have a list of items that are not lining up under each other.

The list of items is under a class 'item-list',
each individual item that is in the list is listed as an instance of the same class ''view-item view-item-RecentReviewSummary'. Each list item consists of a title (a link), a small photo to the left with labels/text wrapping around the photo on the right.

It happen when the page is wide (different monitors, resolutions etc) and in cases where the text wraps under it's photo (ie long enough text to require an extra line under the photo).
We were trying to use display: block, margins and positions to fix this. any ideas? Thank you. Some HTML/CSS following

HTML for first list item:
<div class="item-list">
<ul>
<li>
<div class='view-item view-item-RecentReviewSummary'>
<div class='view-field view-data-node_title'><a href="/millennium_park_lake_shore_walk">Millennium Park/Lake Shore Walk</a>
</div>
<div class='view-field view-data-node_data_field_small_image_field_small_image_fid'><img src="(URL address blocked: See forum rules)/files/ac_millennium_park_small.jpg" alt="Millenium Park" title="Millenium Park in the heart of Chicago" width="150" height="150" />
</div>
<div class='view-label view-label-node_data_field_reviewer_rating_field_reviewer_rating_value'>AC Rating
</div>
<div class='view-field view-data-node_data_field_reviewer_rating_field_reviewer_rating_value'>3
</div>
<div class='view-label view-label-node_data_field_description_field_description_value'>Summary
</div>
<div class='view-field view-data-node_data_field_description_field_description_value'>Check out the amazing "Cloud Gate" sculpture at
Millennium Park and then walk across Lake Shore Drive, Stroll along the Lake and then circle back through Grant Park toward Buckingham Fountain. This trip can be made easily with a wheelchair if your attendant likes to hike, however, the roughly two mile stroll may be a lot if you are on your own. Start by parking your car in the Grant Park North Parking Garage.
</div>
</div>
</li><li>

CSS: (each list item is a link, fields/labels and an image)

#view-label {}

.view-label-node_data_field_reviewer_rating_field_reviewer_rating_value {
/* AC Rating label */
float: left;
padding: 0 5px 0 0;
color: #369;
font-weight: bold;
text-decoration: italicize
}

.view-label-node_data_field_description_field_description_value {
/* Summary label */
color: 369;
font-weight: bold;
width: 350px;
padding: 4px 5px 0 0;
}


#view-field {}

.view-data-node_title {
/* attraction title value */
We thought putting code here would fix but didn't....
}

.view-data-node_data_field_reviewer_rating_field_reviewer_rating_value {
/* rating nbr */
position: relative; top;
float right;
background: url('fourstars.gif') no-repeat top left;
padding: 0 0 0 10px;
}

.view-data-node_data_field_description_field_description_value {
/* summary text */
margin-bottom: 15px;
font-size:.8em;
}

.view-data-node_data_field_small_image_field_small_image_fid {
/* image */
float: left;
margin-right: 5px;

I have an unordered list of 4 items that I have styling to be a horizontal navigation. I have set the css of the li to have a width of 25%. This works fine when the screen is full width but as I scale the browser to have a smaller width the text inside the li wrap - as to be expected. My question is, is there a way of ensuring that all 4 li's have the same height even when the content is of different lengths (thus some of the li's content do not wrap).
Also can this be done purely in CSS without the use of Jquery?
Thanks in advance

hello!
i'm trying to line up some text in my unordered list but haven't been able to figure out the CSS to make it look something like this: Code:

Accomplishments:

Job title		some job here
			another job
			yet another job

Duties			Designed company website.
			Proofread advertisements

Code:

<div id="resume">
	<h4>Accomplishments</h4>
	<ul>
		<li>Job title</li>
		<ul>
			<li>some job here</li>
			<li>another job</li>
			<li>yet another job</li>
		</ul>
			
		<li>Duties:</li>
		<ul>
			<li>Designed company website.</li>
			<li>Proofread advertisements</li>
		</ul>
	</ul>
</div>

so i tried doing stuff like Code:

div#resume ul li ul {
	position:absolute;
	top:-20px;
	left:50px;
}
div#resume ul li ul li{
	float:none
	position:relative;
}

i can't get the words, "Job title" to line up horizontally with the first list item, then have the list items listed vertically like in my example up top (i know it doesn't line up perfectly in here)
can someone correct my css??
thanks!

I have a list, Each item has a graphic as a background image, so each li is 60px high

Some of the text is long and wraps

Some of the text remains on one line

This means the the spacing is not consistent and looks a little odd

I've tried

Code:

ul#myListId li {
     vertical-align:middle;
}

and

Code:

ul#myListId li * {
     vertical-align:middle;
}

This has no effect in any of the browsers

I have a list that is made sortable via jquery UI's sortable plugin.

I have it worked fine in all modern browsers but I get overlapping in IE8 and IE7 is just a mess but I'm less concerned about that.

Working Example

Click and drag Item 5 up above Item 4 and drop there. You can see the issue.

It works initially but I'm not sure why IE8 isn't clearing the float after it is dropped. Maybe it is a javascript issue instead of CSS?
