Why the "list" element is not aligned as I expect it to be ??

It is itself contained in the table below the word "NAVIGATE"; see the "intro" page: intro.html on one of my site-variants. As you can see, there is a sort of "intendation" on the left side, however, I don't use padding nor margins.


You can see the old version/layout on the "not-anymore-updated" futile "intro" page: intro.html, where I didn't yet use the "list" element.

All modern graphic browsers indent ol and ul. IE and Opera use {margin-left: 40px;}, while Moz and Safari use {padding-left: 40px;}. To eliminate the indention,

ul, ol {
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    }

Code (markup):

Thanks much for help. Oh and sorry, but what's that "ol" part ??

Ok, thanks again; but anyway, do I need this if I only use the "ul" and "li" tags ??


tayiper

 

ul stands for unordered list - which is a list with bullet points.

ol stands for ordered list - where items in the list are numbered in sequence (ie: 1, 2, 3, 4...)

 

Yeah thanks, but I know that (i.e. I've read the linked article on W3C); I am just curious, is it necessary to ... if I only use the "ul" and "li" tags by default ??

Tayiper, you keep asking questions, repeatedly and not giving much back. Give people reputation points for helping you.

No is isn't necessary if you aren't using ordered lists (ol).

 

Well sorry, but I don't know what they (these "reputation points") are ...


/EDIT: Oh I see now, it's obviously that "link" above your post, right ??!
