I have a bullet list and I want just a single item without a bullet. How do I do that? For example, in the following, can I get the "Cheese" with no bullet:
<ol>
<li>Milk</li>
<li>Cheese</li>
<li>Goats</li>
</ol>
Many good SO threads deal with changing the entire list, but I'm interested in a specific item.
You can just target any of the list items with class or pseudo selectors
Example below shows this using first-child and class
li:first-child,
.no-bullet {
list-style: none;
}
<ol>
<li>Milk </li>
<li class="no-bullet">Cheese </li>
<li>Goats </li>
</ol>
The solution would be
ol > li:nth-child(2) {
list-style: none;
}

Why do the nested <ol> list items receive the sqpurple.gif bullet?
ul > li {
list-style: outside url("https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/sqpurple.gif") disc;
}
<ul>
<li><ul> - parent
<ol>
<li><ol> - parent. Shouldn't this be a number?</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ul>

Per https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/list-style-image:
Note: This property is applied to list items, i.e. elements with display: list-item; by default this includes <li> elements. Because this property is inherited, it can be set on the parent element (normally <ol> or <ul>) to let it apply to all list items.
To fix this you should reset the <ol> to have no image.
The use of ul > li is flawed since you should be setting the list-style-image property on the <ul> or <ol>
ul {
list-style-image: url("https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/sqpurple.gif");
}
ol {
list-style-image: none;
}
<ul>
<li><ul> - parent
<ol>
<li><ol> - parent. This is now a number as expected!
<ul>
<li><ul> - parent</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ul>
I had to puzzle this one out, too, and I've been doing CSS for more than 20 years. The best way to explain it, I think, is that the rule is inherited, not the selector. That is, any element inside the selected element gets the rule, and since any li accepts a list-style property rule, it applies.
As others have demonstrated, the solution is to override for interior list items. You may also be able to implement the :not pseudo-selector to be more restrictive in your selector. (Actually, you can't, at least using combinators).
Here is a similar post: https://stackoverflow.com/a/6367905/9730836
You can reset the style to every children (as there is inheritance).
Try:
ul>li {
list-style: outside url("https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/sqpurple.gif") disc;
}
li * {
list-style: initial;
}
<ul>
<li><ul> - parent
<ol>
<li><ol> - parent. Shouldn't this be a number?</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ul>
I have an unordered list on my webpage.
Home News About
- Weather
- Sports
- Local Events
I'd like to simply hide only the Home list item with CSS, here's what I have;
ul li:first-child { display: none; }
Clearly this will hide every single first li of every ul, even the nested elements. And here's the kicker, I cannot give it a class or ID. That being said, how can I target Home only via CSS?
<ul>
<li> ola1</li>
<li> ola2</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li> xau1</li>
<li> xau2</li>
</ul>
ul:first-of-type li:first-of-type {
display: none;
}
http://codepen.io/Just14/pen/KaNvVN
You can access to the first li of the first ul
ul:first-child li:first-child { display: none; }
Is it possible to style an unordered list so that the second line and the ones after that are indented the same as the first line of the list item?
Please see the example for exactly what I mean
O----First Line
--SECOND LINE SHOULD START HERE
--EVERY OTHER LINE SHOULD BE LIKE THIS ALSO
Just to supplement my comment, here is a jsfiddle demonstrating what I mentioned. http://jsfiddle.net/R5ptL/
<ul>
<li>Parent</li>
<ul>
<li>Child1</li>
<li>Child2</li>
<li>Child3</li>
</ul>
<li>Parent2</li>
</ul>
And if you want them to be the same style...
ul, li {
list-style-type: circle; /* or whatever style you choose */
}
EDIT: How to do this with multiple unordered lists AND CSS only: http://jsfiddle.net/R5ptL/1/
use the css first-child selector to apply the indent to every line other than the first.
ex:
ul li:first-child{margin:0px;}
ul li{margin:5px;}
li:not(first-child) {
margin-left: 20px;
}
or
li {
margin-left: 20px;
}
li:first-child {
margin-left: 0;
}
It's like this: (HTML solution, not CSS)
<ul>
<li> first item </li>
<li> second item
<ul>
<li>first item of second list</li>
<li>second</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li> continue primary list </li>
</ul>
In short, you nest a complete new UL inside the primary UL.
My first answer was apparently incorrect after further testing. This should work though:
ul li {
text-indent:-10px;
margin-left:10px;
}
NOTE: This answer runs under the assumption that every line other than the first is simply wrapped text. If those other lines are meant to be sub-points, go with gwin003's answer.
When I'm trying to select all direct child of a parent element using ">", it works with some properties like border and all, but not with font-properties like color, font-weight etc..
My HTML is
<ul>
<li>Item 1</li>
<li>
<ol>
<li>Subitem 2A</li>
<li>Subitem 2B</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ul>
CASE1 CSS:
ul>li {
color:#F00;
}
But here the color:#F00 property gets applied to all the "li" elements, But i want it to get applied only for the direct "li"s of "ul".
CASE 2
CSS:
ul>li {
border: solid 1px #000;
}
This one works well for me and the border gets applied only to the direct li child only.
I know it can be resolved by overriding with some other classes and all. But i want to know, why some css properties get inherited and others not.
It's happening due to the default inheritance capability of certain CSS Properties. Values of these kind of properties will be transmitted to the child by default.
This document from W3C gives detailed list of inheritance in various CSS properties. Full property table
try this
Demo
<ul>
<li>Item 1</li>
<li>
<ol>
<li>Subitem 2A</li>
<li>Subitem 2B</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ul>
css
ul > li {
color:#F00;
}
ul > li > ol > li {
color:#000;
}
try this
ul > li ol li {color:black;}
As the listing element has been inheriting the color property from its parent, you need to override it.
You can add below style before yours as like
li {
color: #000;
}
ul>li {
color:#F00;
}
It overrides the color: inherit value.
I think you might find the answer you need here: http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/sel_firstchild.asp
You should be able to select these elements with
ul:first-child {
// css
}
Hope this helps
Is there a way to not display the number for a single li in an ol. It's not an issue if it still contributes to the count of the list (I know this might seem like a strange request).
Yes, just set the CSS list-style-type property to none on the particular <li>.
li.nostyle {
list-style-type: none;
}
<ol>
<li>one</li>
<li>two</li>
<li class="nostyle">three</li>
<li>four</li>
</ol>
This will hide your first ordered list number.
This will look strange since your hiding your first number in the ordered list. This is one possible solution through CSS
ol li:first-child { list-style:none }
<ol>
<li>1</li>
<li>2</li>
<li>3</li>
</ol>
(Not the answer, but in case someone needs...)
If you want to hide the number (bullet) of single item lists, you can use CSS3 :only-of-type selector.
li:only-of-type { list-style-type: none; }
This way, you won't have to assign different classes to your lists. Your lists can grow and shrink as necessary.
And this works for both ordered and unordered lists.
