Lists - 5/26/2005 9:01:45
Hey guys,
Any way I can make my lists (ul) not go out to the right so much?
Have a narrow enough navigation column and want to put a load of points with sub points down along it but they are flying out to nearly half way across the column....
Code for the ul is here:
ul {
list-style-type: circle;
list-style-position: inside;
list-style-image: url('images/point.gif');
}
I've taken out the padding which I had to add to make the rest of the text (in another cell) not be on top of the edge of the column and that didn't seem to have an effect!
Any advice?
Thanks
Stephen

Have you given a width to the nav column? Otherwise without a url, or code it's a wee bit difficult to help.
Cheers
Carol

Hi Carol,
The code of the nav column is:
td.navmain {
background-image: url('images/navmain.jpg');
background-repeat: repeat-y;
padding-left: 10px;
padding-right: 7px;
padding-top: 3px;
padding-bottom: 3px;
}
The padding on the left and right is because the image in the background has a border and drop shadow on it so the text needs to be padded in a bit to stop it from sitting up on the edges!
Thanks
Stephen

As a stab in the dark, without seeing the rest of the css or html, try putting an explicit width on the column to contain the content within limits.

This (*) is the universal selector, which when placed in a style rule as I have shown above lets you style even the html and body if you wish with a margin or padding as some people sometimes do.
I have come across this in many books and oneline groups dealing with css and this is a recomendation that appears to be used by many.
