CSS - Space Between List-style-image And List Item Changes
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 Similar TutorialsI'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 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 I am really stumped -- I need to stack images on top of one another using an unordered list but I get a few pixels of whitespace at the bottom no matter what I do. I know this could be acheived using divs instead but I would like to figure it out using lists. I broke the code into as simple a form as possible and put it below. Removing everything between the </li> tag and the next <li> tag does not work. I tried adding "height: 20px;" under "#nav ul li" to force the images to stack on top of each other -- this works in Safari and Firefox but not in IE Windows. If I remove the DocType tag or switch it to xhtml transitional the images do stack in Safari but not in Firefox or IE. Am I missing something here or is this just not possible? Appreciate any help.

The above code will correclt display in Mozilla and even on the dreamweaver design. On IE the list-style image is displayed on top of the text, it's something that my text is align in bottom while the image is on top. On Mozilla everything works fine since the image and texts are all align. Please help! Can someone explain why the first example here does not work while the second does? Thanks. .top_anchor_links li { list-style-image: url(../img/li_star_white_bg.gif); } li.top_anchor_links { list-style-image: url(../img/li_star_white_bg.gif); } <ul> <li class="top_anchor_links">list 1</li> <li class="top_anchor_links">list 2</li> <li class="top_anchor_links">list 3</li> <li class="top_anchor_links">list 4</li> </ul> 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 Is it possible to adjust the alignment of list-style-image's? In IE, the image ends up being too high, but it's centered properly in Firefox. Example: URL 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; } --></style> <script type='text/javascript'><!-- var prevCat; function menu(newCat) { if (prevCat) prevCat.style.display = 'none'; newCat.style.display = 'block'; prevCat = newCat; } onload = function() { 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]); } menus[a].getElementsByTagName('li')[1].style.display = 'none'; } } } --></script> </head><body> <ul class="catMenuItem"> <li class="catMenuTitle"><a href="#">Menu 1</a></li> <li class="catSubMenu"> Content 1.1<br> Content 1.2<br> <br> </li> </ul> <ul class="catMenuItem"> <li class="catMenuTitle"><a href="#">Menu 2</a></li> <li class="catSubMenu"> Content 2.1<br> Content 2.2<br> <br> </li> </ul> <ul class="catMenuItem"> <li class="catMenuTitle"><a href="#">Menu 3</a></li> <li class="catSubMenu"> Content 3.1<br> Content 3.2<br> <br> </li> </ul> </body></html> I am working on a pop out menu on warrenhomes . The image displays properly in firefox and IE8, but the menu leaves are cut off in IE7 (or IE8 compatibility mode). pushing the list-style-position:inside; line isn't really helping either. Can someone tell me why ie7 is displaying list-style-image differently and possibly how I can correct this issue? I cant seem to get this to position correctly in firefox. Looks great in IE though... Perhaps I should just use divs with margins rather than ul's Hi all, and thanks for reading. The following code looks fine in Firefox, but has huge spaces between the images in IE 6.

I would rather not use a container div for my lists, but it seems that it's not possible to assign the lists themselves a width. When I assign a width to the <ol> element, I lose the numbers under the margin on the left, which I can sort-of understand. If I assign a width to the <li> elements, it works fine in Firefox, but IE drops the number on the first <li> and changes the numbers on each following <li> to "1". Please look at the bottom of this page in FF - http://certified.tmhdesign.com The li elements have a margin-left or the ul a padding left. Can someone help me out? Here is my css ul#hp_offers{ width:600px; margin:0 0 0 10px; border:1px solid #e0e0e0; } ul#hp_offers li{ padding:3px 5px 3px 25px; border-bottom:1px solid #e0e0e0; list-style:none; list-style-type:none; margin:0; } li.even{ background: #f1efef url(../images/offer_even_bullet.gif) no-repeat 10px 7px; } li.odd{ background: #e0e0e0 url(../images/offer_odd_bullet.gif) no-repeat 10px 7px; } Hey everyone, After doing some reprogramming of the site I was making I'm having troubles with lists. I can't set the width of the li or a so that the size takes shape. I can't figure out why, or how to do it. I know I've done it before but the code i used there just doesn't seem to want to work. The LI and A tags take the size of the text within. I've checked the resources I could find in the sticky and that kravitz gave me and they seem to be able to set width but it's just not working. here is my css Code: #menu{ width:750px; border:thin solid #000000; } #menu ul{ margin:0; padding:0; width:750px; display:inline; } #menu li{ width:150px; display:inline; border:thin solid #000000; list-style-type:none; background-color:#550210; } #menu a{ width:150px; } If I take out the display:inline the width takes shape but when I put it back in it resizes to the size of the text within. I am having trouble with my navigation. it works fine in safari and firefox, but when i try it in IE for the PC the main navigational elements don't move. does anyone know why? www.iconiqdesigner.com thanks! Is there any way to have horizontal list items automatically fill any given width? for example, If I have 5 list items, I can set each width to 20% and the list will fill the width of the container, but if I don't set a width, then they collapse to the left. the behavior I'm after is like a table. The 'old' way to create a horizontal list would be to create a table with one row and 5 cols. Setting the width of the table to 100% would make each cell 20% automatically. Any way to accomplish this in css without explicitly setting the width? Of course, IE is being a P.I.T.A. I can't figure out why this is happening... but it's probably something so simple I'm overlooking it. I have a set of images and/or links set up as a list and the last item on the first row shifts down. After that row, everything looks fine. No problems on FF, Chrome and Safari (Mac). See this page for example and view with Explorer: www[dot]cameronstevens[dot]ca/gallery[dot]html Thanks First of all, I hope this makes sense - I just spent two hours nonstop tweaking the navigation on my first client's site, and my brain and eyes are a bit frazzled. I have the navigation in a list, displayed horizontally in a Suckerfish dropdown. The container is elastic but the navigation is not; I want it to stick to the right side but move to the left when the browser is made narrower. Floating it to the right works perfectly.. But it reverses the order of my list items so that "Home" is to the far right instead of the left. Is there any way to reverse the order of the list items without touching the HTML? Going for full accessibility here, so I obviously don't want to reverse the item order in the HTML. I could probably figure this out on my own but it would take time, and like I said.. My brain is a little wonky right now Thanks in advance! I've been using CSS for a couple of days now, and am a bit stuck on how to change the main background image in the body when I hover over a menu item on the side bar. Changing the menu item background seemed easy enough. But, I suspect I am missing a key piece on how to get access to a body style from inside a list style. Here is the short section I am working on, with the full CSS file shown below that. This validates with a couple of warnings about my black on black color selection. I would certainly appreciate any help with this.
