CSS - Help- Css Nav List Li Space Issue
Im having spacing issues with my main navigation. I cant get rid of the spaces between the li. There are these white spaces between the dark gray navigation. Ive tried putting negative px in my li and my paddings/margins for li are 0. I am fairly new to css and this is my first list navigation. Any help is appreciated.
THANKS Code: CSS #pipe { font-size:13px; } #pipe ul { float: left; margin-top: 74px; margin-left: 143px; padding: 0; display: inline; } #pipe ul li { margin-top: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px; /*border-left: 1px solid #000;*/ list-style: none; display: inline; width: 100%; } #pipe ul li.first { background-image: none; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; border-left: none; list-style: none; display: inline; } #pipe li a:link { /*background-image:url(images/navline.gif);*/ background-color:#999; color:#333333; padding: 19px; margin-right: 0px; text-decoration: none; } #pipe li a:visited { /*background-image:url(images/navline.gif);*/ background-color:#999; color:#333333; padding: 19px; margin: 0px; text-decoration: none; } #pipe li a:active { /*background-image:url(images/navline.gif);*/ background-color:#999; color:#333333; padding: 19px; margin: 0px; text-decoration: none; } #pipe li a:hover { color:#ffffff; background-image:url(images/navline_on.gif); padding: 19px; margin: 0px; text-decoration: none; } Code: HTML <div id="pipe"> <ul> <li><a href="(a href="")">HOME</a></li> <li><a href="(a href="")">WHAT WE DO</a></li> <li><a href="(a href="")">SEMINAR</a></li> </ul> </div> Similar TutorialsI have a list that I've created with the list-style-type being an image. For some reason, the space between the list-style-image and the list text differs in IE and Firefox. Has this happened to anyone else, or am I doing something incorrectly? Below is the code. The cell that these lists sit in has has an id of 'cellid'. Code: #cellid { margin: 0 0; padding: 0 0; } #cellid ul { margin: 10px 0 0 20px; padding: 0 0; } #cellid li { margin: 0 0; padding: 0 0; list-style-image: url(images/idxyellowlist.gif); } The ul has a margin of 20px on the left to line up with an element above it. Does anyone have any ideas as to how to get around this space? Thanks, Brian I was wondering if anyone knows how to get a space between blocks in a list. If you have list that have more that one line in a block it looks better to have gaps greater than the leading to separate them. I can't figure how to accomplish this, does anyone have any ideas. Hi, I have a list inside a div section. However for some reason there is some space srounding this list. The div has a padding of 5px. I want to remove the space of the list so that the actual list is only 5px away from the div border. Here is some html and CSS code of what I did so far: Code: <html> <head> <style> #box { width: 200px; border: 1px solid #000000; padding: 5px; } #box ul li{ padding: 0; } </style> </head> <body> <div id="box"> <ul> <li>One</li> <li>Two</li> <li>Three</li> </ul> </div> </body> </html> I also tried margin: 0px, however that was a disaster. And also tried clear:both but did not work either. Does anyone have any sugestions? thanks and regards, sim085 Hello My problem is maybe a easy to solve one, but I realy don't know how to get it right. I have a list of links and want them equaly vertical spaced between all the line of links. link1 (space) link2 (space) link3 What I got doesn't look right in IE and Netscape at the same time. Is there a css tactic to get it right in both browsers? Please can someone help me? I'm having a "can't think" day. How would I get rid of the space(s) between the image icon and the <li> folder or file name on my test website? On the left-hand side of my test website, there is a directory tree listing. You'll see that php files are indicated with an php file icon for example. I don't want that much space between the file name and the file icon. Test website: www seemyinvestments dot com Hi Everyone, I'm new to the forum and somewhat new to CSS. I am developing a simple webpage that has a horizontal unordered list serving as a navigation bar. Firefox adds what looks like about 20px of extra space above and below the entire list while internet explorer shows it aligned top left. Eventually I would like to center the unordered list top and bottom, but I can't seem to get any alignment formatting to work at all. Here is the problem code: Code: <div id="navbox"> <ul id="navbar"> <li><a href="index.html">HOME</a></li> <li><a href="http://showrooms.canadatrader.com/7010/7622">INVENTORY</a></li> <li><a href="formapp.html">APPLY NOW</a></li> <li><a href="mailto:rjtria@gmail.com">EMAIL ME</a></li> </ul> </div> And the corresponding CSS: Code: #navbox { background-color: #B1C5D0; height: 50px; width: 760px; overflow: visible; border-top-width: 1px; border-right-width: 1px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-width: 1px; border-top-style: solid; border-right-style: solid; border-left-style: solid; border-top-color: #333; border-right-color: #333; border-bottom-color: #333; border-left-color: #333; color: #036; font-weight: bold; font-size: 130%; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; line-height: normal; } #navbar li { display: inline; list-style-type: none; border-top-width: 1px; border-right-width: 1px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-width: 1px; border-top-style: dotted; border-right-style: dotted; border-bottom-style: dotted; border-left-style: dotted; padding-right: 10px; padding-left: 10px; margin: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; } I know it's not much.. but it's making me crazy. I have tried zeroing out all padding / margins to no avail... Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks in advance! Celeste Hi everyone, I know this is probably an easy fix but I'm going cross-eyed trying to find the problem. Basically the top of the site has a nice space above the header with a horizontal row of links in IE however FF ignores the space and the links are pushed down on the header itself. I downloaded firebug for FF which is great and has saved me a ton of time the last few weeks but I'm just not seeing this. Thanks for any help http://karenwilliamson.com/joom5/ Hi there, Not entirely sure this is a CSS issue, but something tells me it is... I'm getting a weird space at the top of my pages in IE, which consequently causes the header to not align properly with the header background image. It works just fine with FireFox though. You can view the issue he http://hsdc.groundedgroup.com/ Does anybody know how to remove this space? Thanks in advance. Hey, Page in question In FF, the top menu (laser tag, arcade etc.) works well...'glo golf' is sitting on the 'bear factory' option as it should...no dice in IE, i don't know what the deal is. here's the css; Code: #activities { position:absolute; top:233px; left:-5px; width:760px; height:80px; margin:auto; } #activities a { text-decoration:none; display:block; height:80px; } #activities li#glogolf a { background-image:url(images/glogolf_button_off.gif); } #activities li#glogolf a:hover{ background:transparent; } #activities li#glogolf { background-image:url(images/glogolf_button_roll.gif); width:190px; height:40px; float:left;} #activities li#bearfactory a { background-image:url(images/bearfactory_button_off.gif); } #activities li#bearfactory a:hover{ background:transparent; } #activities li#bearfactory { background-image:url(images/bearfactory_button_roll.gif); width:190px; height:40px;float:right;} Thanks! Trying to resolve the spacing issues when using a list. IE honors the set margin while FF appears to add much more amrgin spacing. I have tried using display:inline but when I do, I lose the haning indent. Any suggestions? My site has two areas that display a similar looking menu. It's just horizontal links for home, blog, shopping cart, etc. I think it uses a list to display these. My question is if you look the following link, the horizontal menu links at the top display instantly. easylinuxcds.com/blog On this second link they bunch up the the left for a second then spread out into the proper horizontal format. easylinuxcds.com How can I prevent this and have both pages look like /blog? Thank you for reading - Andrew I have a list of faculty members with a picture and bio for each entry and I am having trouble creating a consistent amount of vertical space between the entries. This is because some of the bios are shorter than the picture and some are longer, requiring me (for the shorter entries) to add <br />s to the bio to reach the end of the picture. Of course, depending on the browser and display settings, a greater or smaller number of <br />s are needed to get to the end of the picture so code that looks right on one pc does not look right on another. Here's a sample of the code I am using: Code: <h3 class="blue_title">Bob Smith</h3> <p><em><img height="141" width="120" src="images/stories/bob.jpg" alt="bob" style="margin: 7px 10px 0px 0px; float: left;" />Faculty in Math and Physics.</em><br />The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. <em>Since 1999.</em></p> <br /><br /><br /> <p> </p> <h3 class="blue_title">Edgar Jones</h3> <p><em><img height="141" width="120" src="images/stories/edgar.jpg" alt="edgar" style="margin: 7px 10px 0px 0px; float: left;" />Faculty in Spanish, Greek, Latin,<br />and Latin American History.</em><br />he quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. he quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. he quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. he quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. he quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. he quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. he quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. he quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. he quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. he quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. he quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. he quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. he quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. he quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. he quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. he quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. he quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.<em>Since 2005.</em></p> <p> </p> Because the bio in the first entry is short, I need those three extra <br />s to reach the bototm of the picture (otherwise the next entry floats up and into the first). But as a result, the spacing between entries where the top entry needed <br />s looks wrong compared to other entries depending on the user's individual settings. Any sugestions for how to fix this problem? I guess I could set up a table and use different rows for each entry, but I was hoping not to need a table. Thanks. (p.s. - I am using joomla for this site but I don't think that's relevant to this question.) Here are a couple of questions, all are in reference to THIS LAYOUT 1) There seems to be an Internet Explorer issue where bullets don't always show up on list items, any ideas how to fix this? 2) It wont validate in XHTML simply because of two urls I use, anyone have any hacks as to how to fix this? 3) I've only been able to test on IE and Firefox, so if anyone is on a different browser and can let me know of any other issues it would be amazing. Thanks in advanced! Hey - I'm not too CSS savvy, more of a PHP expert, so I'm experiencing this problem with a dynamic list of message board topics. Inside of a table, I've got the following DIV to create each topic with rounded borders for the buttons. Code: <div id="topic"> <b class="rtop"><b class="r1"></b><b class="r2"></b><b class="r3"></b><b class="r4"></b></b> <a href="?action=message_board&topic_id={ID}" class="green11">{name}</a> <b class="rbottom"><b class="r4"></b><b class="r3"></b><b class="r2"></b><b class="r1"></b></b> </div> The CSS is... Code: div#topic{ margin: 2 2px; background: #D8EEE7; float: left; font-weight:bold;} b.rtop, b.rbottom{display:block;background: #FFF} b.rtop b, b.rbottom b{display:block;height: 1px; overflow: hidden; background: #D8EEE7} b.r1{margin: 0 5px} b.r2{margin: 0 3px} b.r3{margin: 0 2px} b.rtop b.r4, b.rbottom b.r4{margin: 0 1px;height: 2px} Here's my problem...in Firefox/Safari/Camino, it does exactly what I want. Each button is dynamically sized perfectly, and they display (left floated) one after the other, but in IE, it displays them as a vertical (rather than horizontal) list. I'd imagine this has something to do with the FLOAT tag, but I have no idea how to solve the problem. Here's the link...I'm referring to the list of topics under "BOARD TOPICS": http://www.2ndfloor.org/message_board_updates/index.php?action=message_board Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Jeremy Weird issue with FF ive noticed can anyone explain why this happens? I have two divs, header and nav. Nav is inside header. Now when I placed a list inside nav it pushed my header div down abit maybe 15px. However when I added the following rule... Code: #nav ul{ margin-top:0px; } The error goes away. Strange isnt it?

menus. Code: <ul> <li>menu1</li> <li>menu2</li> <li>menu3</li> </ul> Others use definition lists. They claim it is less buggy with IE. Code: <dl> <dt>menu1</dt> <dt>menu2</dt> <dt>menu3</dt> </dl> Any thoughts on whether unordered lists or definition lists are best? Also, I sometimes see the menu text surrounded by a SPAN tag. I believe this has to do with only being able to assign one attribute to an element, but am uncertain. Can anyone help explain? Also, if I want a single HTML to work with various CSS, is it a good idea to always include the SPAN tag? Code: <ul> <li><span>menu1</span></li> <li><span>menu2</span></li> <li><span>menu3</span></li> </ul> Thanks Hi I have a vertical menu containing main and subcategories. subcats are hidden, when a main cat is clicked then subcats are displayed, all is done with css no javascript. here is the structure, Code: <ul id="nav"> <li class="level item-1 nav-clothes active parent"> <a href="/clothes.html"><span>Clothes</span></a> <ol class="level item-1"> <li class="level1 nav-clothes-shirts"> <a href="/clothes/shirts.html"><span>Shirts</span></a> </li> <li class="level1 nav-clothes-tanks"> <a href="/clothes/tanks.html"><span>Tanks</span></a> </li> <li class="level1 nav-clothes-raincoats"> <a href="/clothes/raincoats.html"><span>Raincoats</span></a> </li> <li class="level1 nav-clothes-dresses"> <a href="/clothes/dresses.html"><span>Dresses</span></a> </li> <li class="level1 nav-clothes-swimsuits"> <a href="/clothes/swimsuits.html"><span>Swimsuits</span></a> </li> <li class="level1 nav-clothes-outerwear last"> <a href="/outerwear.html"><span>Outerwear</span></a> </li> </ol></li> <li class="level item-2 nav-beds parent"> <a href="/beds.html"><span>Beds</span></a> here is my all related css, external css file, Code: #nav { font-size:13.5px; color:#000; padding:0 0 0 0; margin:-20px 0 0 0; width:100%;} /* All Levels */ #nav li { text-align:left; } #nav li.over { z-index:999; } #nav a, #nav a:hover { display:block; line-height:1.3em; text-decoration:none; } #nav span { display:block; cursor:pointer; white-space:nowrap; } #nav li ul span {white-space:normal; } #nav li li.parent {} /* 0 Level */ #nav li { clear:both; position:relative; display:block; } #nav li.active a { color:#000; text-decoration:underline; } #nav a { float:left; padding:2px 14px 11px 0px; color:#000; font-weight:bold; } #nav li.over a, #nav a:hover { color:#000; text-decoration:underline; } #nav .item-1 ul a { background:url(../images/arr_sub_menu.gif) 0 9px no-repeat; padding:0 0 0 0; color:#1A1616;} #nav .item-2 ul a {padding:0 0 0 0; color:#1A1616;} #nav .item-3 ul a {padding:0 0 0 0; color:#1A1616;} #nav .item-4 ul a {padding:0 0 0 0; color:#1A1616;} #nav .item-5 ul a {padding:0 0 0 0; color:#1A1616;} #nav .item-6 ul a {padding:0 0 0 0; color:#1A1616;} #nav .item-7 ul a {padding:0 0 0 0; color:#1A1616;} #nav .item-8 ul a {padding:0 0 0 0; color:#1A1616;} #nav .item-9 ul a {padding:0 0 0 0; color:#1A1616;} #nav ul li a { padding:0 0 0 0;} #nav ul li a:hover { padding:0 0 0 0; text-decoration:none;} /* 1st Level */ #nav ul li, #nav ul li.active { float:none; margin:0; padding:6px 0 0 29px; background:#FFFFFF; border-left:1px solid #E8E7E7; border-right:1px solid #E8E7E7; } #nav ul li.over {} #nav ul li.last { background:#FFFFFF; padding-bottom:15px; } #nav ul a, #nav ul a:hover { float:none; padding:0;} #nav ul li a { font-weight:normal !important; } /* 2nd level */ #nav ul { position:absolute; width:199px; top:23px; left:-10000px; background:url(../images/bg_sub_menu.gif) 0 0 no-repeat; padding:23px 0 0 0; border-bottom:1px solid #E8E7E7; margin-left:100px; } /* 3rd+ Level */ #nav ul ul { top:5px; background:none; padding-top:0; border-top:1px solid #E8E7E7; } /* Show Menu */ #nav li.over > ul { left:0; } #nav li.over > ul li.over > ul { left:100px; } #nav li.over ul ul { left:-10000px; } #nav ul li a { background:url(../images/arr_sub_menu.gif) 0 9px no-repeat; padding:0 0 0 0; color:#1A1616; } #nav ul li a:hover { color:#1A1616 !important; } #nav ul span, #nav ul li.last li span { padding:3px 15px 4px 15px; } #nav li ul { display:none; } #nav li:hover ul{display: block; } #nav ol { margin-left:5px; margin-bottom:10px; } #nav ol li { padding-left:15px; background-image:url(../images/ol_bg_lines.gif); font-size:12px; font-weight:normal; } #nav ol li.last { background-image:url(../images/ol_bg_lines_last.gif); } inline css code to overwrite the default behavior for target page Code: ul#nav {margin : 0 10px; margin-bottom:0px;} ul#nav li {height : 14px; margin-top : 5px;} ul#nav li a, ul#nav li a:hover {} ul#nav ul {margin-top : -8px; background : url(/images/drop-ul-bgr.gif) no-repeat; } ul#nav ul li {height : auto; margin-top : auto;} ul#nav ol li a { padding:0px; } ul#nav ol li { margin:0px; padding:5px 0 5px 15px; } ul#nav ol { border:#ccc 1px solid; padding-bottom:30px; } I am attaching a screenshot to explain the problem, i have given border to the OL to explain the problem. In the screenshot the pink arrow is pointing the place, BEFORE BEDS, where i want to give more space but the child list keeps overlapping rather than pushing the parent list downwards. any help is much appreciated I am really stuck with this. Hi, Have an unordered list which I use as a menu. I have set the list-style-type property to none because I don't want any bullets or anything. When I look at the menu within a bordered div, it seems like there is a margin to the left of the <ul>. Eventhough there are no bullets in the <ul>, the <li> are still placed at the same location from the left. How can I left adjust the unordered list so that there are no visible margin at the left side? /Hubba Bubba 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; } Hi I am creating a navigation bar using unsorted list and CSS. I have given my CSS and HTML code here Code: #navcontainer { width: 200px; margin-top:150px; } #navcontainer ul#navlist { width:200px; clear:left; text-align:left; margin-left:0; padding-left:0; list-style:none; font-size: 12px; font-weight:bold; line-height: 14px; } #navcontainer ul#navlist li { margin-left:0; padding: 0px; display: block; list-style:none; border-bottom: 1px solid gray; } #navcontainer ul#navlist li.last { border-right: 0; background:none; } a.linkText { padding: 10px; display: block; color : #444444; font-family : arial; font-size : 11px; font-weight : bold; text-decoration : none; height:25px; } a.linkText:link { color : Aqua; /* you can define other styles if necessary */ } a.linkText:visited { color : Maroon; /* you can define other styles if necessary */ } a.linkText:hover { color : Blue; } </style> </head> <body> <div id="navcontainer"> <ul id="navlist"> <li><a class="linkText" href="#">Item One</a></li> <li><a class="linkText" href="#">Item two</a></li> <li><a class="linkText" href="#">Item three</a></li> <li><a class="linkText" href="#">Item four</a></li> <li><a class="linkText" href="#">Item five</a></li> </ul> </div> The problem is, when I select the next list item, previously selected list item should come to the original color. Is there any way I can achieve this? Your guidence will be appreciated. Many thanks |
