Anyone know how to add padding between the :before pseudo-element and where the content actually starts?
<ul>
<li><strong>Name Surname</strong></li>
<li>+27.082.555.4155</li>
</ul>
I want only the first li to have a bullet point in it and only if it has a strong element in it.
I have gotten it right using:
.fr_contactInformation ul li strong:before
{
content:url(/App_Themes/2011/images/hm_listImage.gif);
}
.fr_contactInformation ul li strong
{
/*Here is where I am going wrong*/
padding-left: 50px;
}
Thanks all!
you can put padding in the before to make space between it and the element
.fr_contactInformation ul li strong:before
{
content:url(/App_Themes/2011/images/hm_listImage.gif);
padding-left:50px;
}
If you want to control it by pixel, and assuming you only want the bullet on the FIRST li, here's what you're looking for:
.fr_contactInformation ul li.first strong:before
{
content:url(/App_Themes/2011/images/hm_listImage.gif);
padding-right: 20px;
}
Thanks General Henry but that adds padding to the entire element.
I tried this and it worked:
.fr_contactInformation ul li strong:before
{
content: url(/App_Themes/2011/images/hm_listImage.gif) " ";
}
By adding a some space in the inverted comments at the back of the img url, it created that gap I was looking for between the image element and the content.
Then I used a negative margin on the li to bring it back into place.
Thanks ;)

Firstly, happy new year to you all! :)
Ok let's get to it. I have 5 items in my menu, and i would like to color "+" part of the word to red, choosing 2nd,3rd and 4th item of menu.
This is what menu looks like right now.
This is how the menu should look like, when its done.
I might have given a bad picture, but i think you can see the red "+" on 2nd,3rd and 4th item of menu.
This is what i've tried so far, but i can't seem to figure out the nth-child method.
#menu li:nth-child(2):first-letter a{color:red;}
Also tried this, but it colors every first letter in all 5 elements :S
#menu .nav > li > a:first-letter{color:red;}
Any help will be appreciated!
Thank you all!
I've managed to find the solution. Not sure if it's the best one, but im posting it below, so that any1 in the future can use it too, if no other solution is found
#menu .nav > li:nth-child(2) > a:first-letter
{
color:red;
}
#menu .nav > li:nth-child(3) > a:first-letter
{
color:red;
}
#menu .nav > li:nth-child(4) > a:first-letter
{
color:red;
}
Use the :not() selector to have all but one selected like this:
#menu{
background: rgb(83,83,83);
width: 100vw;
height: 40px;
}
ul{
text-align: center;
line-height: 40px;
vertical-align: central;
}
ul li{
display: inline-block;
color: white;
list-style: none;
margin-left: 25px;
}
a{
color: white;
display: block;
}
#menu ul li:not(:first-child):not(:last-child) a::first-letter{
color: red;
}
<div id="menu">
<ul>
<li>+option</li>
<li>+option</li>
<li>+option</li>
<li>+option</li>
<li>+option</li>
</ul>
</div>
I know this question already has an accepted answer, but I think there is a semantically better way of doing this. Instead of having the + symbol inside the link's markup, why not add it as a pseudo :before element? Easier to style and not dependent on your markup.
<nav>
<ul>
<li>Domov</li>
<li class="with-symbol">Naravni kamen</li>
<li class="with-symbol">Dekorativni kamen</li>
<li class="with-symbol">Keramika</li>
<li>Kontakt</li>
</ul>
</nav>
And the respective CSS:
.with-symbol:before {
content: '+';
color: red;
}
Then position it with either position: absolute; or negative left margin.
From the docs (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/%3A%3Afirst-letter): A first line has meaning only in a block-container box, therefore the ::first-letter pseudo-element has an effect only on elements with a display value of block, inline-block, table-cell, list-item or table-caption. In all other cases, ::first-letter has no effect. So you will need to add display: block to your anchor tags.
I would also change the selector to:
ul li a:first-letter {
color:red;
}
as you need to select the first letter of the anchor tag, not the list item.
As a side note, it might be a better solution to use a span as suggested above or pseudo elements to insert the plus character and use a class to determine if it should be displayed or no.
I have been trying to remove the bullet and indent from a < ul> element for quite a while now and I just can't figure out how - or rather why it's not working.
There are several solutions here on overflow, however none of them is working for me.
this should work(?) but it doesn't:
.widget li {list-style: none; } or:
.widget li {list-style-type: none; } (!important does not help)
here is the link to the page with the problem and a picture of the location I mean: any ideas? thanks!

that arrow is displaying from a :before just display:none it
Remove the left padding to remove padding on li
.arpw-ul li:before { display: none; }
.arpw-ul li { padding-left : 0 }
TIP : Just use google chromes inspect element to test these kind of things. just live results
Looks like you have a pseudo-element that creates the arrow bullet. You should be able to remove it with:
.footer-widget li:before, .widget li:before {
border: none;
}
If that is really a bullet (seems like it is not) then this shall help:
.widget li { display:block; }
But I suspect it is not a bullet but something else (like ::before pseudo element). Use DOM/style inspector tool in your browser.
Try this:
ul {
list-style-type: none;
}
This issue appears in Internet Explorer and I have not been able to resolve it:
#test ul li {
list-style-type: disc;
float: left;
margin-left: 10px;
font-size: 16px;
}
The code above works fine in Firefox and Chrome, but in IE7 it's not displaying the bullets.
I have tried deactivating the attribute float: left and the bullets are displaying, but the list is vertical. My list must be aligned horizontally with the bullets.
I have tried add the follow attributes:
list-style-position: inside and outside and nothing.
using display: inline makes the bullets disappear.
#test ul {
list-style-type: disc
}
and nothing
I have tried changing the margin with different values, adding padding with different values, and nothing.
You could make the lis inline and the list-style of the ul to none and then emulate the bullets using the :before pseudo element:
ul {
list-style: none;
margin: 0;
}
li {
display: inline;
}
li::before {
content: "o ";
}
Of course, instead of "o" you could use an unicode character representing a bullet.
Create the bullet with an image and set it as the background.
try with :
ul{
list-style:disc outside none;
padding:0px;
padding-left:12px;
margin-left:8px;
}
Demo
might be a bit late but including a span tag inside with display:list-item seems to fix the problem when the margin and padding adjustment fails..refer https://stackoverflow.com/a/18337398/1776573. It worked for me when the margin and padding adjustments dint solve the issue..
Is there a way to increase the size of just the bullet list-style-type using CSS? I don't want to increase the size of the bullet text, just the bullet type. I can't use images or JavaScript either. It has to be something I can embed inside <style> tags within the <head> tag.
Might not work in old version of IE.
li:before{ content:'\00b7'; font-size:100px; }
Demo
For IE6:
Without javascript or images, I would recommend putting a <span>ยท</span> in the beginning of every list item and styling that.
I have had to do something similar. My method was to add a span tag around the text within the li:
<li><span>Item 1</span></li>
<li><span>Item 1</span></li>
Then you can increase the font-size of you li and reduce the font size of your span:
li {
font-size: 20px;
}
li span {
font-size: 14px;
}
You may need to adjust line-heights and margins to accommodate for the extra li sizing. But this method will also allow you to colour the bullets separate from text.
To increase the size of the bullet you can use
li::marker
{
font-size: 2rem;
font-weight: bolder;
}
and to change bullet character, the content property will work
li::marker
{
content: '\2746';
font-size: 2rem;
font-weight: bolder;
}
When you say you can't use images, do you mean you can't edit the li tags to add images, or that you can't use an image at all?
On the li elements, you can set the list-style-image property.
li {
list-style-image: url('/imagepath.png');
}
This can still go in your head tag without editing the markup of the list.
no way that I'm aware of.
but you could fake it by using :before
ul,li{list-style:none;}
li:before{content:"o";font-weight:bold;}
put any background color for the (ex: .menu li a )tag and add padding for that you will get like a box then border-radius and then for ( .menu li ) apply padding for left and right for spacing... (explained in reverse order)
#header .nav-primary ul li{float:left;display:block;margin:0;padding:0 22px;}
#header .nav-primary ul li a{text-decoration:none;color:#030;background:#CBCBCB;border-radius:5px;padding:5px 0px;}
Was looking for a solution to this too and found that if you nest a p inside li, you can style the bullets and bullet text separately.
<div>
<ul>
<li><p>Hello</p></li>
</ul>
</div
div ul li {
/*this will style the bullets*/
}
div ul li p {
/*this will style the text*/
}
At this site and within the navigation are nav titles. As you can see there is an unnecessary space between each nav title and I am stumped as to why this is. Check out "classes," nav to get a good view of too much space.
I've been at this for a bit and to the point where I thought I'd ask around for a suggestion or tip.
li {
margin-top:0;
margin-bottom:0;
padding-top:0;
padding-bottom:0;
}
And for another <li> vertical spacing adjustment option:
li {
line-height:1.2em;
}
Look for anything involving height (i.e. line 324):
li, li a{
height:32px;
}
Note: I'm not sure what your xmargin or xheight in your CSS is for
