CSS - Removing Bullets From Menu List

For a navigation I am using, I must use an li height to control spacing in IE6. I'm also using bullets to show a user where they are in the site by only having one bullet display at a time.

Unfortunately, the height assignment I use on my li causes IE to misplace the bullet next to its secondary nav.

Below is code I'm using to troubleshoot:

Code:

<ul><li><a href="#">dog</a></li>
  <li><a href="#">cat</a></li>
  <li class="here"><a href="#">fish</a></li> 
    <ul>
      <li><a href="#">trout</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">angel</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">salmon</a></li>
    </ul>
  <li><a href="#">turtle</a></li>
  <li><a href="#">elephant</a></li>
</ul>

Code:

li {height: 20px; list-style-type: none;}
li.here {list-style-type: disc;}

If a user is on the page fish, they will see that bullet point to page salmon.

Any recommendations?

Is it possible to change the bullets of an unordered list when you hover over the <li> element using CSS?

I've tried something like this..

Code:

#ulist ul{
	list-style: none;
}
#ulist li a{
	list-style: square;
}

the list
Code:

<ul id="ulist">
   <li><a href="#">Element 1</a></li>
   <li><a href="#">Element 2</a></li>
   <li><a href="#">Element 3</a></li>
   <li><a href="#">Element 4</a></li>
</ul>

But that doesn't work, the reason I think is because the list-style is being applyed to the <a> and not the <li> element.

If not a CSS, how would I use JavaScript to determine the <li> element and add the "square" bullet style to it?

Cheers,

Hi everyone,

Just two really quick questions.

Is there a way to get the list-style-image property to work for in-line unordered lists? And is there a way to remove the first bullet in the list?

Thanks for any help.

How do I remove the indenting that happens on a UL with CSS? I want a vertical list but I don't want it to indent as it messes up my design.

I'm building a navagation bar. I want to have several lists, each with a heading. Due to space and visual concerns, I would like to eliminate the blank line between the heading and each list.

Here's what I have:
Code:

<div id="navigation"> 
<span class="nav_title">Archives</span>
<ul>
	<li>[...]</li>
</ul>
<p>
<span class="nav_title">Categories</span>
<ul>
	<li>[...]</li>
</ul>
[...]                                
</div>

And this is the corresponding CSS (just the ul part, obviously):
Code:

#navigation ul { 
               list-style-position: inside; 
               list-style-type: disc; 
               padding: 0; 
               margin-top: 0px; 
               padding-top: 0px; 
               display: block; 
            }

What I have right here works, but it only works for the first list. All the other lists have a blank line between the heading and the following list -- but the first does not.

I find it weird that this would work for the first time it is used, but not for the second time. I tested it by replacing the heading and list with other headings and lists and got the same result -- the *first* heading blends with the list, but the rest do not.

You can view this problem here (it's in the navigation bar on the right-hand side. "Archives" blends with its list, but nothing else does.) In case you couldn't tell, I'm trying to hack out my own WordPress theme atm -- don't yell at my table layout yet, I'm converting it from another theme and haven't finished yet

Anyway to remove the automatic line break after list items? I'd like to use styles to create roll-over effects in a menu I've used an unordered list to create that menu. But, I'd like a horizontal menu bar rather than a vertical menu column.

Thanks!

I'm having troubles with a list menu.

The first problem I have is that the menu options dont fill the whole of the menu but do in Firefox.

The second problem is that the padding is different in IE and Firefox and I would like them to be the same.

If anyone could help that would be great.

I am having problems with a horizontal list menu. If you take a look at the link below I'm trying to get the top picture, menu and the main content area to all line up vertically.

http://www.willisemail.co.uk/skill/

I may be wrong but the list menu seems to be the problem as it never lines up.

Any help would be great or a suggestion on how to go about this another way.

Thanks

Jemes

I'm embedding menumatic into a joomla 1.6 based website.
Menumatic is just a slick css suckerfish menu with some mootools effects. http://greengeckodesign.com/menumatic

Anyway, I've edited the CSS to look ALMOST right. The only problem is that I cannot get the menu as a whole to center correctly on the page.

Anybody have any ideas about how i can do this?
(In addition to the 100's of things I've tried, I've tried putting it in another set of div's and centering that div, but it didn't work )

below is all the code. I left the JS out, since it also runs (a bit less prettily) on pure css. Also, I have verified the CSS at w3. There are four lines that are not standard, but they are to do with the rounded corner borders, not the spacing or alignment.

Edit: A bit more playing around and I have think it is a conflict with floating the items left. They need to display:block in order to display correctly so they also need to float (left) since they would otherwise be on separate lines (I think).

Anybody have an idea about how to get around this?

I tried to justify the text (that would be fine for my purposes), but it didn't work either.

2) a list menu has a gap from top in the Firefox, but there is not gap from top from IE browser. And in the IE Browser, the list of menu sit too hight on the top.
How could i sit the list of menu in the center and there are about 1px gas or not
gas between the top and the menu bar in IE and Firefox.

my code as following;

I've been hit with a problem that I think isn't possible, but I'm hoping that someone else here might be able to offer some sort of solution. It's a bit complicated to explain, so I'll try and give as much detail as I can.

I have a menu system set up on a site, and it's styled correctly for the way that one section works. It's a standard unordered list.

FIRST MENU:
Code:

<ul>
    <li>
        <a href="page1.html">Link 1</a>
        <ul>
            <li><a href="page1.1.html">Link 1.1</a></li>
            <li><a href="page1.2.html">Link 1.2</a></li>
        </ul>
    </li>
    <li>
        <a href="page2.html">Link 2</a>
        <ul>
            <li><a href="page2.1.html">Link 2.1</a></li>
        </ul>
    </li>
</ul>

SECOND MENU:
Code:

<ul>
    <li>
        <a href="page1.html">Link 1</a>
    </li>
    <li>
        <a href="page2.html">Link 2</a>
    </li>
</ul>

My problem is that I also need to style another menu match this - but the second menu has to have it's first-level links look like the second-level links in the first menu.

This wouldn't be a problem normally as I'd be able to use different selectors, ID's or something else, but with this system, the menu is output from a closed function that I can't change. There's no ID's on the lists, and the classes are all the same. I can't change this, and I can't change the system to add anything else around each list to give it a better identifier. This means that both menus use the same CSS.

The only way that I can see that I can do this is to set up a CSS rule that styles the list item either only of it contains another<ul> item, or if it doesn't contain another <ul> item. As far as I know that's not possible to do.

Does anyone out there have an idea of where I can start with this?

Hi,

I am working on this website atm: www.powys.gov.uk

I have a problem with the menu, the problem is when you scale the browser window and the menu links(on the left column) are forced to wrap, the indentation of the link isnt the same e.g:

Code:

   My Menu Link
Has been wrapped

I want it to be like:

Code:

  My Menu Link
  Has been Wrapped

The problem only occurs in IE, it looks perfect in Mozilla, can anyone offer any help on how I might fix this? I am out of ideas.

I'm trying to create a menu using 'list' but so far without much success :-(

Problems?

Not displaying horizontally in browser.

Can't center text in box.

Adding 'padding' didn't work.

Any help would be much appreciated,

Mike

P.S. Please ignore the colors ;-)

Hi, I'm trying to make a simple rollover menu with a <ul><li> list.

Here's my stylesheet: Code:

.navigation{
	width:768px;
	height:26px;
	padding: 94px, 0px, 10px, 5px;	
	z-index:999;
}

.navigation ul.nav li {display:inline}

.navigation ul.nav li a.link: hover{
color:#fbe8be;
font-family:times, serif;
font-size: 14pt;
text-decoration:none;
}

.navigation ul.nav li a.link:active{
text-decoration:none;
color:#bac4a1;
font-family:times, serif;
font-size: 14pt;
}

And here's my XHTML: Code:

<div class="navigation">
<ul class="nav">
<li><a href="index.php" class="link">Home</a></li> |
<li><a href="ScopeofServices.php" class="link">Scope of Services</a></li> |   
<li><a href="BaselineFees.php" class="link">Baseline Fees</a></li> |   
<li><a href="BaslineProcedures.php" class="link">Baseline Procedures</a></li> |   
<li><a href="Qualifications.php" class="link">Qualification<a></li> |   
<li><a href="contact.php" class="link">Contact Us</a></li> |
<li><a href="considerations.php" class="link">Key Considerations & Pre-Conditions</a></li>
</ul>
</div>

Here's the page: http://www.caillouette.com/SelvanSite/index.php

Can anyone tell me why my rollovers don't work?

thanks
