  • 0

I am having a problem where the last li element in a ul is pushing itself to the left further than the rest of all my pieces. Attached is a screen shot and my code.

I have tried using the last-child element but it doesn’t work in Safari or Chrome.

#attending ul {
 display: inline;
 margin: 0 5px 0 0;
 padding-left: 0px;
}
#attending ul li {
 display: inline;
 list-style-image:none;
 padding: 5px;

}
#attending li:last-child { 
    margin-right:-4px; 
  }

Suggestions?

    Your culprit is the text-align:center on the #attending css rule.

    your li‘s are centered since they have been converted to inline

    [update]

    ok, i had misunderstood the problem .. you need to remove the 5px right margin from the ul and it would center correctly..

    here is the result http://jsfiddle.net/uvXKb/
