Removing ul indentation with CSS
(3 answers)
Closed 4 years ago.
This might seem like a dumb question, but I've added an UL to a basic page and the list seems to be off-centered. There's nothing special about the list. No specific css added: just a list. When I load live it's slightly off center.
Is there a default margin or padding on the left side?
<h3>Title Heading</h3>
<ul id="listItems">
<li>itemOne</li>
<li>itemTwo</li>
<li>itemThree</li>
</ul>
The main body has all the css code for centering, aligning, float, etc. The
'Title Header' align perfectly. Just list is a little off.
Thank you.
Oh, don't know if this is important, but I added the 'id' cause... wanted to use 'first-of-type' to give 1st item em(bold).
The problem is that by default, browsers have custom css - in chrome for example:
ul, menu, dir {
display: block;
list-style-type: disc;
-webkit-margin-before: 1em;
-webkit-margin-after: 1em;
-webkit-margin-start: 0px;
-webkit-margin-end: 0px;
-webkit-padding-start: 40px;
}
You'll have to use a custom rule for your ul:
element.style {
margin-left: 0px;
/* set to 0 if your not using a list-style-type */
padding-left: 20px;
}
Lists will always align so the text remains in line with the edge of the parent element. This means the bullet points will by default sit outside (to the left) of the element. You can force the alignment to happen to the bullet point, not the text like so:
ul {
list-style-position: inside; }
Alternatively you can just add your own margin to push the entire list element like so:
ul {
margin-left: 20px; }

html
<ul class="social">
<li><a class="html5" href="#html5"></a></li>
<li><a class="twitter" href="#twitter"></a></li>
<li><a class="facebook" href="#facebook"></a></li>
<ul>
Everything works, but not fitted to margin? I need it flush like the rest of my page...any advice?
css
.social ul
{
list-style-type:none;
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
.social li
{
display: inline-block;
}
In the CSS, you are trying to set margin and padding to "0" but since your path is wrong
-> .social ul
I think it should be:
-> ul.social
In the fiddle the <ul> still has the default 40px of left-padding and 16px of top/bottom margin, so just add margin: 0; padding: 0; to the unordered list. Every browser adds this padding/margin to lists - I'd suggest using a CSS reset, so you can explicitly reset the default browser styling for each element. Look at this for more info
Secondly inline-block elements are white-space dependent so if you comment out, or delete the white-space in your mark-up (between the <li>) the horizontal space between the images will be reduced.
Edit: It does display inline horizontally .. the reason why margin: 0; padding: 0; didn't take effect is because .social ul implies the unordered list is a descendant of some element with the class .social when it isn't, so the default padding/margin remained.
On http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/playit.asp?filename=playcss_ol_list-style-type&preval=none, a nice overview is provided for the different list-style-type values.
However, for the value none, it still reserves some horizontal space for the empty list symbol. Is there a way to remove this horizontal spacing, so that the text actually moves to the left as if it was no list? I would like to use text-align:center on the list items, and this horizontal spacing makes them not really centered. And I need to use <ul> because the CMS brings it in that way.
Basically, by default list-style-type:none does a visibility:hidden on the bullets, while I would like to achieve display:none on the bullets instead. What would be the proper way to do this?
It's the browsers default styling that's adding that space, just use a CSS reset to reset all of the browsers default styles. Most block elements have some default margin/padding .. even the <body> element has 8px of margin applied to it by default.
Here is a link to Eric Meyer's reset: http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/css/reset/
Just to see for yourself, add:
ol {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
/* This would be declared in the above reset */
Make sure to add browser reset styles before you start working with CSS.
You have to add this:
ol, li {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}
for this question.
A better way to this these days I found recently is to set the <ul> to display: contents;. Thus the css should look something like this:
ul {
list-style-type: none;
display: contents;
}
ul > li {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
text-align: center;
}
This should do the trick.
add
margin:auto;
float:none;
display block; to your css for the ol element, this will remove the padding and align the elements in the centre
I'm having some problems with my ul-list after using applying CSS-reset.
When the text in the li is long and it breaks to a second line, the text begins under the bullet. I'd like it to start with the same margin/padding as the text on the right side of the bullet.
Sort of hard to explain, but if you look at the example-image. The left-image is the list today. "motta varsel [...]" begins under the bullet, but I'd like it to look the picture on the right.
How can I do this with CSS? I assume there is something very simple I've overlooked, but I can't figure out what. Google searches did not return anything useful either.
The li tag has a property called list-style-position. This makes your bullets inside or outside the list. On default, it’s set to inside. That makes your text wrap around it. If you set it to outside, the text of your li tags will be aligned.
The downside of that is that your bullets won't be aligned with the text outside the ul. If you want to align it with the other text you can use a margin.
ul li {
/*
* We want the bullets outside of the list,
* so the text is aligned. Now the actual bullet
* is outside of the list’s container
*/
list-style-position: outside;
/*
* Because the bullet is outside of the list’s
* container, indent the list entirely
*/
margin-left: 1em;
}
Edit 15th of March, 2014
Seeing people are still coming in from Google, I felt like the original answer could use some improvement
Changed the code block to provide just the solution
Changed the indentation unit to em’s
Each property is applied to the ul element
Good comments :)
Here is a good example -
ul li{
list-style-type: disc;
list-style-position: inside;
padding: 10px 0 10px 20px;
text-indent: -1em;
}
Working Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/d9VNk/
I second Dipaks' answer, but often just the text-indent is enough as you may/maynot be positioning the ul for better layout control.
ul li{
text-indent: -1em;
}
I would set the fish in a :before style in css. Also you have a spelling mistake in your HTML. It should be <ul>. Font Awesome should give you the code to put into content.
li {
padding: 0% 0% 5% 3%;
width: 100%;
list-style-position: outside;
position: relative;
}
li:before {
content: '';
position: absolute;
width: 5px;
height: 5px;
background: black;
top: 10px;
left: -5px;
}
