CSS - Definition List
The following codes gives messed up display. City lines with York. I tried float both dd and dt to left but still same. Never used definition list before. What am I doing wrong here?
Code:
ul, menu, dir, dl { display: block; list-style-type: square; margin: 0; padding:0; }
dt { width:30%; }
dd { width:70%; }
<dl>
<dt>Town</dt>
<dd>York</dd>
<dt>City</dt>
<dd>New York</dd>
</dl>
Similar TutorialsSeems like most people use unordered lists for 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 I have the following table definition Quote: <table style="padding:100px; border:solid; border-width:2px; width:100%;" align="center"> but the padding has no effect. I changed the padding from 100px to 500px without any change. I change the border width and it works perfectly. What am I doing wrong? Hi guys, i have a page of categorised links which i've wrapped using definition lists: Code: <dl class="link_category"> <dt class="category_name">Magazines</dt> <dt>XchangeIT</dt> <dd>The company through which newsagents obtain electronic magazine invoices.</dd> </dl> I would like for each list to flow after the proceeding so I've used float: left, however there's the occasional gap (see attached img). And I cant figure out whats causing this! Here's my CSS: Code:
.link_category {
float: left;
width: 200px;
text-align: left;
margin: 0 20px 20px 0;
}
.link_category dt {
font-weight:bold;
}
.link dt.category_name {
font-size: 14px;
line-height: 18px;
margin: 0 0 9px 0;
}
Thanks in advance Hi! Is this definition of a html table valid xhtml? <table> <tr> <td></td> <td></td> <td></td> </tr> <tr> <td></td> <td></td> </tr> </table> In short, is it legal to have more TDs in one TR than in another? Thanks I'm sure this is obvious to all you CSS folks, but my CSS is messy and one reason is this: .container { text-align:left; border:2px solid #000000; padding:0px 10px 0px 10px; margin:auto; } .menucontainer{ width:640px; } .mainmenucontainer{ background-color:#abcdef; } .adminmenucontainer{ background-color:#ffcc66; } So, I have containers that will differ in size and color. How do I do this definition so in my html I can do: <div class="mainmenucontainer"> <div class="container menucontainer mainmenucontainer"> I had a brief overview of CSS2.1 specs (http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/) but could not find what am looking for. I am wondering if it's possible to define a class more than once and the definitions get merged together. eg. // File generic.css table.panel, table.tree {font-family: Arial, Verdnana, Geneva, Helvetica, sans-serif;} th.panel, th.tree {font-family: Arial, Verdnana, Geneva, Helvetica, sans-serif;} td.panel, td.tree {font-family: Arial, Verdnana, Geneva, Helvetica, sans-serif;} // File tree.css table.tree {text-transform: capitalize;} th.tree {height: 25px;} td.tree {height: 25px;} Basically I want all panel & tree class to have same font-family, but only the tree class to have additional text-transform & height adjustments. Is there a better way to do this? hi, i wanted to change a look of form submit buttons a bit and i found out i can do it using inline css, example: Code: <input type="submit" name="subbtn" value="Send" style="background-color: #fbbe2c; width: 120px; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 12px; font-weight: bold; color: #66666;"> but can't figure out how to define it using internal or external css. i tried this: Code:
<head>
<style type="text/css">
input.btn { background-color: #fbbe2c; width: 120px; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 12px; font-weight: bold; color: #66666; }
</style>
</head>
...
<input type="submit" name="subbtn" value="send" class="btn">
which seems the most correct to me, but it doesn't work. style defined in this way is ignored. i'm sure there is a way to do it, but it seems i don't know the right way. could you help, please? Unfortunately I am going to have to get more involved in CSS rather than happily concentrating on PHP development. We have realised that getting our designers to CSS stuff is just costing us time as they lack the experience and don't understand the semantics. Anyway, as such I need to find out a few things I know but don't know if you know what I mean. Where can I find out the official definitions of CSS operators... * html for example..what the * does. class1>class2...what the > does...stuff like that. Here's the code:
Code: <html>
<head>
<title>Sample Font Shorthand</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<style type="text/css">
body { margin: 0; behavior: url("../htcmime.php?file=csshover2.htc") }
div { }
table { width: 100% }
.sttable { background-color: #000080 }
tr { }
td { vertical-align: top }
.sttd { font: bold 12px Arial #FFFFFF }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<table class="sttable">
<tr>
<td class="sttd">Catalog > Categories</td>
<td class="sttd">Cart Total: $ 0.00</td>
<td class="sttd">Date</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>

Would someone please tell me why the color of the text isn't rendering white? I 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 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 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:

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, 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>

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 Please look at the location list on the right side of this page - http://certified.tmhdesign.com My designer sent me a layout that has each location in a list and seperated by dots that DO NOT go the whole distance of the ul/li. As you can see I am close but they are not laying out the same in IE and Firefox. IE is closer to what I am after but without the big gap Im having trouble putting together a subnavigation list on my website, I am trying to create four sections each of which has a different color to it, and i can get almost everything to work except the subnavigation background color. I have tried white and transparent, but i think the parent element is somehow interfering with the css. any help would be appreciated. Here is my code Code:

Hello, I created a menu using an unordered list and after the list I have a div with some text: http://www.27lamps.com/public/Menu.htm My menu gets over the div. Why? Thanks, Miguel Hi, I am currently using an unordered list to output images in a photo gallery im making however i want to also add text underneath each of these. If i use <br> after the image it messes up the UL as the next LI appears underneath the previous one. This is not the desired effect as i am creating a horizontal list. How can i add text underneath the image without distroying the layout? Hi! Another new-to-CSS dabbler here. Not entirely sure what I'm doing, but I get by. I'm working on a site for a paper (making the switch from tables to proper CSS so bear with me) and I can't get the nav bar to cooperate. i31.tinypic.com/wbvzoh . png One of these things is not like the others... And I can't for the life of me figure out why or what would be causing it bar some well-known CSS issue with nav bars that I am not yet privy to. Code for the bar is as follows: CSS Code: #navcontainer ul
{
text-align: center;
padding-bottom: 5px;
padding-top: 5px;
padding-left: 0;
margin-top: 0;
/* cancels gap caused by top padding in Opera 7.54 */
margin-left: 0;
background-color: #e0edc9;
color: #25733e;
width: 780px;
font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
line-height: 18px;
/* fixes Firefox 0.9.3 */
}
#navcontainer ul li
{
display: inline;
padding-left: 0;
padding-right: 0;
padding-bottom: 0px;
/* matches link padding except for left and right */
padding-top: 0px;
}
#navcontainer ul li a
{
padding-left: 10px;
padding-right: 10px;
padding-bottom: 5px;
padding-top: 5px;
color: #25733e;
text-decoration: none;
border-right: 1px solid #fff;
}
#navcontainer ul li a:hover
{
background-color: #adc38a;
color: white;
}
#navcontainer #active { border-left: 1px solid #fff; }
HTML Code: <div id="navcontainer"> <ul id="navlist"> <li id="active"><a href="#" id="current">HOME</a></li> <li><a href="#">RECENT</a></li> <li><a href="#">AD INFO</a></li> <li><a href="#">ARCHIVES</a></li> <li><a href="#">PAY A BILL</a></li> <lj><a href="#">CONTACT</a></li> </ul> </div> Any ideas? Please help me style lists. This is the on area I am having a really hard time understanding. I have a menu list in my side bar and a standard list in the content section. I keep having problems because the styles seem to be conflicting with each other. My site is http://www.myslavelake.com/dir/budget-2009/ Code for the menu Code: <ul id="navlist"> <li><a href="#">Arctic Ice Centre </a></li> <li><a href="#">Water Conservation </a></li> <li><a href="#">Capital Priorities</a></li> </ul> Code: #sidebar ol, ul, li {
font-size: 1.0em;
font-weight: 600;
text-decoration: none;
list-style-image:none;
list-style-position:outside;
list-style-type:none;
}
#navlist ol, ul {
padding: 5px 0px 0px 0px;
}
The main list code Code: #content ul {
margin-left: 0;
list-style-type: square;
/*text-indent: -1em;*/
}
#content ul li {
font-weight: normal;
list-style-type: square;
font-weight: normal;
/*text-indent: -1em;*/
}
I am happy with the menu but would like normal list for the content section. Right know bullets are not showing up in the content section. |
