CSS - Ul List Padding
how do you remove the "padding" of the ul on the left hand side?
Similar TutorialsI'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;}

HTML on page (it's quite heavy) I can not figure out how to remove the padding and margin around the triangle image so it is not indented, I would also like it if the gap between the image and the text was smaller. Can anyone suggest what I change or add to my code to do this. I am also wanting to know how I get the triangle to be part of the link, so clicking the triangle or thetext will open the sub menu. Code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html><head><title>working submenus</title><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<style type="text/css"><!--
ul.catMenuItem { margin: 0px auto; list-style-type: none; /*margin-left: -25px;*/
background: url("triangle_right.png") no-repeat 0px 5px transparent; /*adjust 2px & 5px until it looks correct */
display: block;
padding: 0px 4px 0px 15px; /*adjust until you have enough left padding to account for your bullet */
/* list-style-image: url('triangle_right.png'); */
}
/* list-style-image:url('triangle_down.png'); */
ul.catMenuItem li a { text-decoration: none; padding: 0; margin: 0; }
ul.catMenuItem li.catSubMenu { display: none; padding-left: 30px; margin: 0; }

}

var menus = document.getElementsByTagName('ul');
for (var a=0,x=menus.length; a<x; a++) {
if (menus[a].className === 'catMenuItem') {
menus[a].getElementsByTagName('li')[0].getElementsByTagName('a')[0].onclick = function() {
menu(this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('li')[1]);
}

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, I have a horizontel list as my menu with a 1px border to the right of each item as a seperator. Each item has 10px padding to the left and right. In all browsers it shows up as expected in the middle of the menu items but in Explorer the border is way closer to the right, almost pushed up against the item to the right. Any help please. Hello, Is there a way to have padding (say 15px) all around a cell, but allow for expections, like having one div element float:left and align far left against cell border while everything else is inset 15px. ie. Code:
<style>
#menubox {
float:left;
margin-left:15px;
margin-bottom:7px;
}
.main_cell {
padding:15px;
}
</style>
<body>
<table width=600 border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0>
<tr>
<td valign=top class="main_cell"><div id="menubox">table with menu items taht is achored far left against cell wall</div>
Some text that wraps around "menubox" but needs to be padded around cell walls.</td>
</tr>
</table>

Thanks, Rey Hey everyone, I am making a design to kill some time, and I have come across a problem. I have a menu at the top which has no top padding unless I give it padding of 87px. I find this very odd, and it happens in every browser( Firefox 2.0.0.3, Opera 9, IE6-7 ); is it a bug in CSS itself or am I doing something wrong? Here is my code, maybe I am missing something. html4strict Code: Original - html4strict Code <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <meta http-equiv="Content-Style-Type" content="text/css"> <meta http-equiv="Content-Script-Type" content="text/javascript"> <title></title> <style type="text/css"> body { background-color: #082567; color: #FFFFFF; margin: 0; padding: 0; font-family: verdana,tahoma,"Bitstream Vera Sans",arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: justify; } #top-menu { background-image: url( http://secretgeek.net/Gradient.aspx?Direction=H&Length=130&StartColor=082567&EndColor=0C39A1&Format=jpeg ); background-repeat: repeat-x; height: 130px; } #top-menu h1 { float: left; font-weight: bold; letter-spacing: -3px; font-size: 31px; padding: 5px; } #menu { float: right; list-style-type: none; text-align: center; } #menu li { display: inline; } #menu a { background-image: url( http://secretgeek.net/Gradient.aspx?Direction=H&Length=130&StartColor=082567&EndColor=0C39A1&Format=jpeg ); background-repeat: repeat-x; color: #FFFFFF; padding: 50px; } #menu a:hover { background-image: url( http://secretgeek.net/Gradient.aspx?Direction=H&Length=130&StartColor=0C39A1&EndColor=082567&Format=jpeg ); background-repeat: repeat-x; } </style> </head> <body> <div id="top-menu"> <h1>ryon.hunter</h1> <div id="menu"> <ul> <li><a href="">asdf</a></li> <li><a href="">asdf</a></li> <li><a href="">asdf</a></li> <li><a href="">asdf</a></li> <li><a href="">asdf</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> </body> </html> <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" I validated it and it validates fine, any suggestions? 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, 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

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 Hey everyone, I am working on a new template: http://4xp.net/temp.html The colors are there just so I can see the divs, so don't worry. If you look at the page in IE, it looks fine, with some padding between the green and orange div, and to the right of the orange div. When you look at it in Firefox, there is a bunch of white padding to the top and bottom of both the orange and green divs, and I can't seem to get it to go away. The weird thing is, if I add a 1px border to the orange div, the green div aligns to the top, and the orange background expands to fill in the white area above and below the orange div. Does anyone know how to remove this padding? Thanks! Hi there, I have 2 main divs.. one which holds a small ammount of content on the right hand side.. like a 'related links' box which is located at the top right of the page. The other div holds the content. It wraps around the top right div, but there is no padding to the right of the content area, so the text goes right the way up to the right hand div. How can I add some padding to the right of this area? I have added padding, but it adds it to the text where it wraps below the top right div. This is the code I am using: PHP Code: #related_links{ width: 165px; height: 237px; background-image: url('images/related_bg.jpg'); background-repeat: no-repeat; float:right; padding-right: 10px; } #related_inside{ padding: 10px; } #content{ padding-right: 10px; } #content_inside{ padding: 10px; } PHP Code: <div id="related_links"><div id="related_inside">right hand text</div></div> <div id="content"> <div id="content_inside" >is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry.

I am noticing that padding changes the width/height of an object. For example, if I have a div element with a width of 100% and padding at 10px, it will actually cause the horizontal scrollbar on the browser to appear because it takes the 100% width into account, plus 20px for the padding on the left and right side. I thought padding was suppose to push elements inward. ??? Any help will be greatly appriciated. I don't know exactly what to call what's going on, but i'm asuming that there is a padding issue with my menu. I have a ul that contains my menu list. The CSS and xhtml are as follows: Code: /* Menu */
li {
border: 1px solid #000000;
border-bottom: 0px none;
display: inline;
line-height: 14px;
margin: 0px;
margin-left: 1px;
margin-right: 1px;
padding: 0px;
padding-left: 3px;
padding-right: 3px;
}
ul#menu {
background-image: url(img/menu.gif);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 9px;
list-style-position: inside;
list-style-type: none;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
text-align: center;
background-position: left bottom;
vertical-align: text-bottom;
}
/* End Menu */
<ul id="menu"><li>Menu 1</li><li>Items 2</li>
<li>Will 3</li><li>Go 4</li><li>Here 5</li></ul>
(the menu is on one line, thanks to IE's whitespace issue, i broke it here for easier readablity.) the problem is: i have it nestled on top of a div, and for some reason the ul has a 1px bit of padding on the bottom. I have searched the forum and may have missed some one posting a resolution for this, but i tried every one ov the voice-family/carrage return fixes i've seen, but none work. to see what i'm talking about if my words are il formed (as they often are) click here. to view the CSS click here. Right now, there is nothing about padding located in css file. And I was told I should add a bit because my page is a headache to read. I was told: "Basically you want to add more white space between the vertical line and the text" How would I go about doing this? The site Im talking about is: www.ohiocichlids.com The site can be viewed he http://oharenoise.org/new/ I am having issues with padding on this newly revised website, specifically in the left column division. For example, I'd like the "Special Information" heading to have larger padding above it & less padding below. No matter what values I enter into the padding attributes, nothing changes. I'm having the same problem with the "Featured Publications" too, further down the page. |
