CSS - Removing Blank Line Before <ul> List
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 Similar TutorialsAnyway 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! David Goldfeder I have that annoying problem that code like this: PHP Code: <img src="images/worsleytop.jpg" width="750" height="175" /> <div id="navigation"> <ul id="nav"> <li> Causes a gap between the image and the navigation div of a couple of pixels. I know why it is happening. And I know that changing it to PHP Code: <img src="images/worsleytop.jpg" width="750" height="175" /><div id="navigation"> <ul id="nav"> <li> fixes the problem in IE, but not in firefox. How do I sort it out universally? 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. Hi, I have tried putting list-style-type: none; in various places to remove the circle bullets from the list style in my code but I must be doing something wrong. How can I remove the circle bullets from the expanding menus on this page ? Thanks 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 want to make a list and have only the first line in bold i tried this but it didn't work Code: ul.none{ list-style-type: none; padding: 0; margin: 0; first-line: bold; }
Below is my CSS file for list. Code: li {
list-style-position: outside;
}
ul {
list-style-position: outside;
list-style-type: disc;
margin-left: 15;
}
ul ul {
list-style-position: outside;
list-style-type: circle;
margin-left: 25px;
}
ol {
list-style-position: outside;
list-style-type: upper-alpha;
}
ol ol {
list-style-position: outside;
list-style-type: decimal;
margin-left: 25px;
}
ol ol ol {
list-style-position: outside;
list-style-type: upper-alpha;
margin-left: 35px;
}
Now, here's the problem. When I do this: Code: <b>Section Title</b> <ul><li>List 1</li> <li>List 2</li> <li>List 3</li> </ul> The result showed up like this: Section Title *List 1 *List 2 *List 3 Is there a way to not having the line break after the "Section Title"? I want it to show up like this: Section Title *List 1 *List 2 *List 3 How to I take out the extra line break? Any help is grateful! ljCharlie Hi everybody. I am developing a site for classic games, and I am having trouble putting a navigation list on the left of my page and aligning a heading on the right with the top of the list border. Code:

I realize that a list and a heading are both block-level elements, but I'm wondering... I'd rather not use absolute positioning since it doesn't work well with different resolutions. I'm just wanting it to work with 800x600 and 1024x768 resolutions. Can anybody help? Hi I'm writing here after spending a few hours searching google without luck. I bought a "mega menu" plug in for wordpress but its acting very odd. It generally works as it should but ive found that theres something wrong with the formatting of the drop down menus. There is an issue where line breaks do not happen at all, and most important - list items are not shown on a new line. The content all seems to flow around its self rather than being formatted. See attached pic: img14 .imageshack .us/img14/964/screenshot047cr .png I did run the css and html though a validator and it spits out hundreds of errors but i think they are pretty much only shown because its css3. I'm really curious what would cause line breaks to not appear after list items. I had thought previously it may be the css clashing with my themes css but i tried a fresh install on a really mimimal theme and the error is still there Greetings, I have a class called "header" and I am trying to give it a touch of extra space between it and the next line. All of my headers are just a few words and thus on one line. I tried placing "line-height: 1.5em" in my "header" class and it shows up correctly in Dreamweaver but not in IE. My thought is, because it is only a single line, that class value does not kick in because there is no second line for that class. Is there a way to conrol this in CSS or am I going to have to resort to using a....gulp.....spacer? Thanks in advance! I've got two lines of text. Want the spacing the two lines to increase, so I set a line-height. When I do this, not only does it increase space between the two lines, it also increases spacing above the first line (and maybe below the second). How can I increase spacing between the two lines only, without increasing above and below? Thanks! Greetings, I am relatively new to CSS and am using background image bullets. Problem is, in the case of a two line link, the bullet aligns in between the two lines and I need it to align to the top line. Below is the CSS, and attached is a screenshot of the link to better illustrate my predicament. Thanks for any help! li { list-style-type: none; background: url(../images/bullet.gif) no-repeat left; padding: 0 0 0 10px; } Seems 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 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 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, 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 there, I have a menu system which uses <UL> etc, but it displays the bullet point. Is there a way to remove these bulllets? Many thanks! In ff3 at least theres white space under my log in box and I cant figure out how to get rid of it.

and yes ryan420 i know what your going to say when (if) you see this thread link lol Hi I have been using CSS for menus, content, etc for a while now, its great. But now I am using a table to display a list of products pulled from a database. I recently read that the table will not start to display until the whole of the <table> tag has loaded. This has become an issue, I think, because the table is slow to load. Should I consider scrapping the table and using CSS instead to display the list of products? Would CSS help at all? Thanks Jake I couldn't figure out why people were telling me they couldn't see my page but i could see it just fine in two different locations. Come to find out I use firefox and IE is showing a blank page. Can someone help me with this? |
