I want to create a custom class that controls both the space between list item and the space after the final item.
I have accomplished the first, but I can't figure out the second. Here's the code I'm trying:
/*Custom long list styles*/
.long-list ul {
margin-bottom: 9px;
}
.long-list li {
margin-bottom: 2px;
}
The LI code works, but the UL code does nothing. The bottom margin ends up being whatever I set the LI to — in this case, 2px.
If you don't want your last <li> to have a margin:
li:not(:last-child) {
margin-bottom: 2px;
}
Or if you need a specific margin for it:
li {
margin-bottom: 2px;
}
li:last-child {
margin-bottom: XXpx;
}

How do a create menus with pure css that are evenly spaced and the li elements take the entire ul space?
I followed this solution to create the menus that are evenly spaced out: https://stackoverflow.com/a/17951253/757955
I want the li elements to take up all the area of the ul element. I have a separator image I want to put between the menu items. Also I want people to be able to click anywhere in the menu item and be taken to that page.
Here is the js fiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/prusikknot/btp6Lkos/
Notice how the red and green boxes don't touch. I want the red and green boxes to touch between each other at the midway point between the menus.
There will be a variable number of menus and the menu names will vary in length. I'm targeting IE8+ and the latest version of the other major browsers but the old IE part may get dropped.
Here is the html:
<nav id="idMainNav">
<ul>
<li>ASDF</li>
<li>QWER</li>
<li>ZXCVB</li>
<li>UIOP</li>
<li>HJKL</li>
<li>VBNM</li>
<li>TYUI</li>
</ul>
</nav>
Here is the css:
#idMainNav{
width: 900px;
}
#idMainNav ul {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
text-align: justify;
line-height: 0;
background-color: #e9e8e8;
}
#idMainNav ul:after {
content: '';
display: inline-block;
width: 100%;
list-style: none outside none;
}
#idMainNav li {
position: relative;
display: inline-block;
line-height: 100%;
text-align: center;
font-size: 15px;
font-weight: bolder;
cursor: pointer;
}
#idMainNav li:first-child {
padding-left: 10px;
}
#idMainNav li:last-child {
padding-right: 10px;
}
li {
background: green;
}
li:nth-child(odd) {
background: red;
}
#idMainNav a {
color: #000000;
height: 59px;
line-height: 59px;
text-decoration: none;
}
The thing about display:inline-block; is that it behaves like text and creates white space between elements. To counteract this, make the inline-block parent element have a font-size:0; (in this case the ul) and then reset the li to a font-size value not relative to the parent (since it's now 0).
Also, you don't really need to set justify to anything here, you just need to explicitly state the width of all the lis. In my test, setting the li to width:13.95%; worked nicely but it depends on the number of lis.
I have a purely .css driven menu. Currently, I have the flyout on the sub-sub menu appearing at 180px. This obviously doesn't work because as soon as menu text that exceeds 180px is entered, the submenu text is overlayed with the sub-submenu text (In the example, Highlighting Products > Entertainment Centers USA shows the problem).
The spot in the .css where I have explicitly stated the 180px width is below. I need it to be dynamic, i.e. the desired behavior is for the flyout to align with the right side of the first level vertical menu regardless of the first level submenu's width.
/* -- Appearance of second vertical dropdown menu unhovered (submenu of first level vertical menu) -- */
.rmenu li ul li:hover ul li a {
padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px;
background: #e8dec7; /*background color for submenu hovered text*/
color: #51db29; /* this is the color of the sub-sub menu text. I made the color (#51db29) 'unusual' as an example. Should be changed to something less jarring (of course) */
word-wrap: break-word;
min-width:100px;
position: relative; left: 180px; top: -35px; /* display 3rd level to the right (180px) */ /*left: 180px*/
}

Many, many thanks.....
I have simplified everything down and made this for you. You can expand on it and do what you want with it. I couldn't really work with yours, ended up deleting most of the css.
As you can see I have added class to each level of the sub-menu so it is easier to target. What I have created is what I think you wanted, I hope this puts you on the right track.
http://jsfiddle.net/9c8wcxju/5/
.rmenu ul li {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
position: relative;
}
.rmenu ul {
list-style-type:none;
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
.rmenu li a {
display:block;
min-height: 35px;
line-height: 35px;
font-family: "Arial", sans-serif;
font-size: 18px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #e8dec7;
text-decoration: none;
white-space: nowrap;
}
.rmenu li:hover a {
background: #d6cbb0;
}
.rmenu .hidden {
display: none;
}
.rmenu .level_1 > li {
float: left;
}
.rmenu .level_1 > li a {
padding: 0 10px;
}
.level_1 > li:hover .level_2,
.level_2 > li:hover .level_3 {
display: block;
}
.level_2 {
position: absolute;
left: 0;
}
.level_3 {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 100%;
}
I have a footer, which has a horizontal menu.
CSS
footer {
height:99px;
}
ul {
list-style-type: none;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
font-size: 20px;
padding-top:26px;
}
li {
float:right;
width:8%;
}
I want to make it so that when I make other menus, the css for the footer menu won't affect it. What would be an effective method for this? The html is just a basic <footer> tag.
In this case, you can use descendant relationship, where you say apply the style to ul elements which comes inside a footer element.
footer {
height:99px;
}
footer ul {
list-style-type: none;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
font-size: 20px;
padding-top:26px;
}
footer ul li {
float:right;
width:8%;
}
If you want to be more specific(if you might have multiple footer elements in the page) you can assign a class to the footer like myfooter then use the class selector also like
footer.myfooter {
}
footer.myfooter ul {
}
footer.myfooter ul li {
}
Have a look st the different CSS selctors
I'm in the process of making my own blog, I haven't got a domain yet so it's not live(I've been building the site from a folder with different directories as the pages). I've been working on the blog and I was looking for a simple navigation menu. I found one on the internet. I'm trying to center the navigation bar and I've tried many solutions that worked for other peoples websites but it isn't working for mine. This is the code (I've tweaked it to my own colors and nav titles)
<ul id="list-nav">
<li>Home</li>
<li>Books</li>
<li>About</li>
<li>Contact</li>
</ul>
And this is the CSS:
ul.list-nav {
list-style:none;
width:525px;
margin-right: auto;
margin-left: auto;
}
ul#list-nav li {
display:inline;
}
ul#list-nav li a {
text-decoration:none;
padding:5px 0;
width:150px;
background:#383838;
color:#eee;
float:left;
border-left:1px solid #fff;
}
ul#list-nav li a:hover {
margin-right: auto;
margin-left: auto;
background:#cccccc;
color:#000;
}
"Help me Obi Wan Kenobi your my only hope!"
Your first CSS selector is looking for a ul with a class of list-nav, not an id of list-nav. Change your first CSS rule to:
ul#list-nav {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
list-style: none;
width: 525px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
And your navigation bar is magically centered. Please see this jsFiddle for a working demonstration > http://jsfiddle.net/TLaN5/. Obviously you'll need to amend the width of the parent ul in order to accomodate the correct width of the elements within, but you should get the idea.
I would wrap the entire page inside <div class="wrap">. You have declared margin twice in the code, so I would remove the first occurrence and leave it like:
ul#list-nav {
padding: 0;
list-style: none;
width: 725px; //NOTE I have increased the width value.
margin: 0 auto;
}
Also, find
ul {
display: inline;
text-decoration: none;
color: black;}
[around line 20] and remove display: inline; rule. This should fix your issues. Check the live example here.
You can give a define size to the ul and center its content (remove the display-inline, indeed)
ul {
width: 960px;
margin: 0 auto;
text-align: center;
}
Then display the child li elements as inline blocks :
ul li {
display: inline-block;
}
The inline-block property won't work in ie7, so check your browser targets first...
Another way is to just use the good ol'
ul li {
float: left;
}
ul:after {
display: block;
content: "";
clear: both;
}
But the li won't be centered within the ul and you'll have to use javascript if you absolutely want to do this dynamically (without assigning a fixed with to each li).
I'm trying to get all the text in this list to be flush against the bullet. However, the text is wrapping under the bullet image. Tried changing the padding/margin on the a and li and also nowrap, but that just make it stick out over the right border. The bullets are the WBI logos under News: http://circore.com/womensbasketball/ Any ideas? thanks!
You could try
ul {
list-style-position: outside;
}
but I would personally use a background image and some padding, something like:
li {
list-style: none;
background: transparent url(your/icon.png) no-repeat left center;
padding-left: 20px; /* or whatever the width of your image is, plus a gap */
}
See this page for more details:

I did this on your site with firefox and it works
#menu-news li:first-of-type {
border-top: medium none;
height: 55px;
list-style-position: inside;
margin-left: 8px;
margin-right: 15px;
padding: 10px 10px 10px 66px;
vertical-align: top;
}
#menu-news li {
background: url("images/wbismall.png") no-repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
border-top: 1px solid #666666;
height: 55px;
list-style-position: inside;
margin-left: 10px;
margin-right: 15px;
padding: 10px 10px 10px 66px;
}
This works for unordered lists:
#menu-news ul {
list-style:outside circle;
margin-left:60px;
}
#menu-news ul li {
padding-left:20px;
}
The margin-left moves the whole list in by 60px.
The padding-left is only needed if you want extra space between the bullet point and the list item text. The list item text wraps under itself and not under the bullet.
You need to add display: inline-block; to the link inside the td element.
Your class looked like this:
#menu-news li a {
color: #000000;
font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans serif;
font-size: 13px;
margin-top: 10px;´
}
But need to look like this:
#menu-news li a {
display: inline-block;
color: #000000;
font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans serif;
font-size: 13px;
margin-top: 10px;
width: 200px;
}
I had the same problem and here is how I fixed it. The important line is background-repeat: no-repeat;. Bullet points will be added to every new line/list item of your list but it will not put a bullet point when text is wrapped to the next line. Look at my code below to see where I placed it.
ul {
margin: 0;
list-style-type: none;
list-style-position: inside;
}
ul li {
background-image: url(https://someimage.png);
background-size: 25px;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: 0px 5px 100px;
padding-left: 39px;
padding-bottom: 3px;
}
A few notes on my code: I used an image for the bullet points. I also used background-image: instead of list-style-image: because I wanted to control the size of the image bullet. You can simply use list-style: property if you want simple bullet and this should work well even with wrapped text. See https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/pr_list-style.asp for more information on this.
Try simple set the position attribute:
list-style-position: inside; nothing more need to work.
Here is the working example:
https://codepen.io/sarkiroka/pen/OBqbxv
I ran into a similar issue while I testing accessibility of pdfs generated with pdfreactor, my problem was that list-style-type: disc broke the 'logical reading order' in Adobe acrobat's Reading Order Pane. Having a jumbled reading order won't break the NVDA screen reader experience for visually-impaired users, but it does prevent the user from bookmarking a pdf document correctly.
My solution to fix the text from wrapping directly underneath the bullet character AND fix the reading order:
ul {
list-style-type: none;
}
li {
margin-left: 10px;
}
li::before {
content: '•\00A0';
margin-left: -10px; // a negative margin will remove the bullet from interrupting the flow of the text
}
