I am trying to create custom bullet listing but it doesn't display well to what I expected.
The problem is it is too close as shown in the link HERE
Suggestion will be appreciated.
Thanks
You can play with :after and :before selectors.
My suggestion it would be to go with something like this:
ul{list-style:none;}
li{padding-left:15px; position:relative;}
li:before{content:" "; position:absolute; left:0; height:10px; width:10px; background:url(path/img);}
You should probably try to specify a line-height for the <li>'s.
Like:
<ul class="custom-list">
<li>some item</li>
<li>some other item</li>
</ul>
And the css:
.custom-list li {
line-height: 20px;
}
Check jsfiddle here change the line-height and click run to see the effect...
You might also need to tweak the position of your custom bullet images, but as I said on my comment, you should provide some code example or better yet a jsfiddle to be able to help you any further...

Is it possible to have the first line of text (or inline-blocks) aligned to the left, while the next one to the right using only CSS? I'm sure it can be done using JS, but am looking for a cleaner and simpler solution.
I have this navigation bar (which is a <ol> in the markup). It's usually one-line long, but recently we got a case, when it's grew long enough, so that it broke to the second line. Below is the photo of that. What my boss asked me to do is align the second line to the right, while keeping the first intact.
Now it looks like that:
What I'm aiming for is this (I'd then make some fixes to make it look prettier than on the picture below):
The markup. All li items are inline-blocks, but I could change that.
<ol class="phase-labels">
<li class="phase-label phase-current">Company</li>
<li class="phase-label phase-inactive">The Policy</li>
<li class="phase-label phase-inactive">Property Insurance</li>
<li class="phase-label phase-inactive">Additional Clauses</li>
<li class="phase-label phase-inactive">Public Liability</li>
<li class="phase-label phase-inactive">Public Liability Additional</li>
<li class="phase-label phase-inactive">Employers Liability</li>
<li class="phase-label phase-inactive">Quotes</li>
</ol>
You could try using direction propertie + text-align:justify to fill up entire first-line.
What does this involve? :
it reverse the reading direction of li (as inline-boxes) and
punctuation.
if only one line , lis stand towards right.
DEMO
Basic CSS
ol {
display:block;
position:relative;
direction:rtl;
text-align:justify;
}
Note: too bad text-align cannot be overwritten through the pseudo class :first-line.
You have the display:flex propertie too. DEMO
Basic CSS :
ol {
display:flex;
flex-wrap:wrap;
justify-content:flex-end;
}
I did misunderstand what he was looking for sorry everyone, why not try this. I think the following css should work.
ol{
float: right;
}
ol li{
float: left;
}
This answer is based around the idea that if the nav bar has exceeded the parents width, then it's float won't necessarily matter, but aligning everything to the right ensures it positions where you want. And floating the list items to the left, allows everything to be displayed in the proper order
I want to design a navigation menu something like:
<ul id="menu">
<li><a>link1</a>
<ul class="subMenu">
<li><a>sublink1</a></li>
<li><a>sublink1</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><a>link2</a></li>
<li><a>link3</a></li>
<li><a>link4</a></li>
</ul>
From css point of view how is better to write your code:
hide dropdown list with position:absolute; left:-999em; and on hoover top:0; left:0;
or
display:none; and display:block; on hoover?
Using display instead of positioning is more correct as it actually hides the element instead of just moving it outside the page.
Besides, this also saves you 3 lines of code.
If you want to hide it then why not to use display:none; and display:block;? Any reason why you considering moving them instead?
I am using the <ul><li> list tag within which I have 3 tags like sos:
<ul id="reg-lists" >
<li class="one">
<select>...</select>
</li>
<li class="two">
<select>...</select>
</li>
<li class="three">
<select>...</select>
</li>
</ul>
I have the proper css to make the list horizontal:
#the-form li {
display:inline !important;
list-style-type: none;
padding-right: 10px;
}
I does'nt seem to work though and am not sure why. Horizontal rule seems to apply well until you put the combos. Would appreciate your help. Thanks
It works fine for me -- see this JSFiddle -- the list items are displayed horizontally, at least they are when I look at it in Firefox.
If you're seeing something else in another browser, please let us know.
If this is case, the solution may be to use display:inline-block instead of display:inline.
inline-block is similar to inline, but allows the element to contain block type elements, which are not allowed by the normal display:inline style.
Hope that helps.
You need to give your <ul> a set width which is equal to the width of all the combined <li>'s and then set your <li>'s to float:left;
Story short I have widgets sidebar. I style it like this:
.widgets ul {padding: 10px}
Now one of the ULs inside widgets I want to avoid padding from it, but keeping all other ULs use default padding of 10px.
So i tried to give class to children UL which I want no padding on like this
.tabs {padding:0}
I tried ul.tabs, and .widgets ul.tabs nothing seems to take effect. It still receives padding 10px. And I can't afford to do custom padding for every UL inside the widgets.
Can you please tell me what I am missing ?
The html is pretty basic.
<ul class="widgets">
<li><h2>Widget title 1</h2>
<ul>
....my widget content
</ul>
</li>
<li><h2>Custom widget 1</h2>
<ul class="tabs">
...this one I want to have padding:0..
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
Thats the html basic framework. I set padding:10px to any ul in PARENT widgets ul but I want specific custom widget to have its own custom styles, I can't do it :( in this case ul class=tabs
The "C" in CSS stands for "cascading". Learn about the cascade and you will see that your second rule is less specific than the first, so the first wins.
In general, the rule with more class selectors wins, and #ids trump most stuff.
To answer your question, adding specificity will do it.
.widgets ul.tabs {padding:0}
(assuming the .tabs is indeed on the ul like you said.)
A more specific CSS selector should override a less specific one. So your experiment with using .widgets ul.tabs should work. Is it possible that when you tested that, your browser had cached an earlier version, or some such?
Here's my sample HTML page. First I tried it the way you had it; it didn't work (as it shouldn't). Then I changed it to what is here, and it worked (in Firefox).
<html>
<style>
.widgets ul {padding: 10px}
.widgets ul.tabs {padding:0}
</style>
<ul class="widgets">
<li><h2>Widget title 1</h2>
<ul>
....my widget content
</ul>
</li>
<li><h2>Custom widget 1</h2>
<ul class="tabs">
...this one I want to have padding:0..
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</html>
example of what dman is talking about, with your code:

( i think you might have missed the 's' in .widgets )
I am trying to find a CSS tutorial that would enable me to create a 4x3 grid of features like on this site http://www.ewedding.com/features.php
If anybody can suggest one it would be great! All the tutorials that I have found seem to style the entire page rather that a particular part of the page.
Thanks in advance
Decbrad
the page you link uses an UL as outer element and an LI as inner element so you have this:
<ul>
<li>Feature1.1</li>
<li>Feature1.2</li>
<li>Feature1.3</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Feature2.1</li>
<li>Feature2.2</li>
<li>Feature2.3</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Feature3.1</li>
<li>Feature3.2</li>
<li>Feature3.3</li>
</ul>
use a CSS definition like this:
ul{
float:left;
width: //specify the width
display:block;
}
li{
list-style: none;
display:block;
}
etc.
That said, I think a CSS table layout is better for this:
