blockquote spacing? - 9/27/2005 9:23:37
Hi - I 'm working on a site where I have a bulleted list and I need to indent a few of the bulleted items so I'm using a Blockquote to indent.
My problem is there is a lot of whte space above and below my indented items due to the blockquote. Is there a way in CSS to define something for the blockquote to control this whitespace a blockquote produces? Line-height doesn't do it.
Here is the page I'm working on:
http://www.websbymegan.com/TlynneSeyfarth/how_we_work.html
You'll see towards the bottom 5 bulleted items indented (2 are my comments in red); this indentation looks like it's just hanging in mid-air.
Any suggestions?
Thanks! Megan

Instead of using blockquote - I'd use sublists.
Like this:
<ul>
<li>Monthly client statements</li>
<li>Monthly past due notices</li>
<li>Billing reports that show
<ul>
<li>Too much white space above?</li>
<li>Summary Aged Accounts Receivable</li>
<li> Monthly Payments Received</li>
<li> Hours Worked by Timekeeper</li>
<li> Too much white space below?</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Trust Account/Retainer Reports</li>
<li>Any other reports you need to manage your practice</li>
</ul>
Note that the closing <li> of the "Billing Reports" list item is below the sublist closing </ul>.
This will indent the sublist for you. The amount of indentation can be increased if you want.

Or if Megan prefers to stick with using blockquotes, then add this to the <head> section (adjust sizes to suit your taste):
<style type="text/css">
<!--
blockquote { margin-left: 25px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; padding: 0px; }
-->
</style>

Thanks! Much better. But it changed the indented bullets to an open circle. Any way to control that? Would like them all to be solid bullets if possible.
Here's a new page with the changed bullets:

Thanks, Jeepless. Your suggestion fixes my secondary problem with the change in bullet type when I got away from the blockquote. Perfect!!
Thanks to both of you for your quick responses. Both solutions will come in handy.
