Question

Using CSS Style Sheet

In my web page, i have two class like menu and leftside. In menu i have the ul, li classes. i want to use a ul, li in left side also, but the problem is if i used the ul, li, it was matching with menu ul, li

ul -underlist, li – list

I tried to change the code of sheet,

my css code.

#leftside{
    float: left;
    width: 230px;
    margin-left: 5px;
    margin-top: 15px;
    overflow: hidden;
    font: 13px Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}

a {

    text-decoration: none;
    color: #000000;
}

a:hover {

    text-decoration: underline;
    color: maroon;
}

ul {
    padding: 10px 10px 2px 0;
    margin: 0px;
    list-style: none;
}

li li {

    margin-left: 10px;
    margin-right: 10px;
    line-height: 30px;
    padding-left: 15px;
    border-bottom: 1px dashed #BDBDBD;
    background: url(images/img04.jpg) no-repeat left 50%;
}

Html Code

<li>                    
<ul>
<li><a href="#">Company Profile</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Enquiry</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Career</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Location Map</a></li>
</ul>
</li>

ul, list are matching with the menu ul, li

How to solve this issue. Please.

Answer 1

To reduse the amount of space above the inner list change the padding for the ul so that it is 0 or negative.

For Example:

ul {
    padding: 0 10px 2px 0;
    margin: 0px;
    list-style: none;
}

You can also use a special style sheet to correct the problem in Internet Explorer by doing something like this:

<!--[if IE 7]>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="iespecific.css" />
<![endif]-->

You would then need a second CSS file named iespecific.css which has the above ul styling in it.
