What CSS makes <a> tags show on a single line, rather than under each other?
Maybe have a link in <li> tag?
I believe you want:
a {
display: block;
}
edit
Anchors by default show inline, but the related CSS is:
a {
display: inline;
}
You could also use inline-block which gives you a bit more functionality (although some older browsers support it poorly).
If you want a link in a <li> tag:
<ul>
<li>
Link here.
</li>
</ul>
CSS:
li {
display:inline-block;
}
Example here
I created an example for you which answers your second question.
<p id="top">This is the top of the file</p>
<ul> Favourite sports
<li>Football</li>
<li>Tennis</li>
<li>Rugby</li>
</ul>
<p>This link goes to the top</p>
The tag li refers to list item. Links are written the same way in ordered and unordered lists.

please see html validator error output in screenshot.
ul{
display: inline;
}
<ul>hi
<li>
1234
</li>
<li>
5678
</li>
</ul>
<ul>hello
<li>
abcdef
</li>
<li>
ghijkl
</li>
</ul>
question:the ul items(hi,hello) in above css code moved a couple of places to the right if I used the css display:inline tag . But They do not get moved if I execute with a css ul tag having no display:inline value..please explain. and second question why have the circle markers disappeared ?
li elements have a display value equal to list-item and following the specification they generate a block box so you end having a block element inside and inline element.
The above behavior is also defined in the specification and leads to the result you get. More detail: Is it wrong to change a block element to inline with CSS if it contains another block element?
why have the circle markers disappeared ?
It's still there but hidden on the left because the default behavior is list-style-position: outside
ul{
display: inline;
}
li {
margin-left: 20px;
}
<ul>hi
<li>
1234
</li>
<li>
5678
</li>
</ul>
<ul>hello
<li>
abcdef
</li>
<li>
ghijkl
</li>
</ul>
ul gets a default padding-left applied from the user agent stylesheet, 40px or something.
With an inline element, padding-left works only before the first line of content, and padding-right only after the last line.
Make it inline-block instead, if you want that padding applied to the whole element.
Because the inline value of the display property is something that makes the elements inside to behaves inline.
That means you have not much options to position and move them.
The inline value is most useful for a text paragraphs to wrap theentire paragraph. Where you would like the text to position in a couple of lines one below another.
I am trying to debug my footer but I keep getting bugs like
(Element h4 not allowed as child of element ul in this context)
Can anyone explain.
I cant place the HTML because for some reason it does not work.
Probably because there are some mistakes in the code.
Link to my website is
http://www.timberlife.nl
And then inspect element at the footer of the page.
<ul>
<h4 class="footerr">SUPPORT</h4>
<br>
CONTACT
<br>
FAQ
<br>
DISCLAIMER
<br>
</ul>
It starts with this.
<h6 class="text-white copy-text">
Many thanks!

According to HTML5 spec, you can't have header tags as children within a <ul></ul>, you should populate it with <li></li>, then insert your content within each list like so:
<ul>
<li><h4 class="footerr">SUPPORT</h4></li>
<li>CONTACT</li>
<li>FAQ</li>
<li>DISCLAIMER</li>
</ul>
I also noticed you have wrapped entire blocks of content within header tags, try to avoid that as it also leads to invalid html. Use divs rather.
Reference: w3.org ul element
The error is thrown because your list structure is invalid. All content must be wrapped in li tags.
<ul>
<li><h4 class="footerr">SUPPORT</h4></li>
<li>CONTACT</li>
<li>FAQ</li>
<li>DISCLAIMER</li>
</ul>
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/ul
Also, you should use a CSS file (or at least an embedded style tag) rather than inline styles:
<style>
ul li a {color: white;}
</style>
If you want to use any heading tag within ul then you should place it within li tag because any list inside ul or ol tags can be made only by li tag.
so please try this
<li><h4 class="footerr">SUPPORT</h4> </li>
This Should work
I want to add space before bullet points . My requirement like
This is paragraph1
The text line one
The text line two
This is paragraph 2
The text line one
The text line two
Any help will be appreciated.
Try setting margin to li
li{
margin-left: 20px;
}
JSfiddle here
There is spacing before bullet points by default. If there isn’t, you are probably using a “Reset CSS” of some kind.
To set the spacing to a desired value, set padding-left and margin-left of both ul and li elements to zero and then set one of them to the desired value.
CSS:
li {
margin-left:1em;
}
You can set CSS to li as per your requirement.
HTML Code
<p>This is my paragraph1</p>
<ul><li> List One </li>
<li> List Two </li>
<li> List Three </li>
</ul>
<p>This is my paragraph 2</p>
<ul><li> List One </li>
<li> List Two </li>
<li> List Three </li>
</ul>
CSS
li {
margin-left:1em;
}
JSFiddel
apply margin-left to ul

I hope this will help you
Currently I am using <span>Home<span> on hover of an anchor element within a li. However, I need a drop-down on hover. Something like the same home span but two or three more items underneath it. Any help would be appreciated. Click for jsFiddle
!
It would be easier if you use <ul> and <li> rather than using <span>. Like what Parallel 2ne said it depends on your html markup. However you could also force it via Javascript/jQuery by creating a function that triggers automatically when you hover the <span> elements individually. When it triggers it applies display:block or display:hidden for the sub <span> elements.
you can do it on css and html, without any js file.
The HTML Code you need :
<ul>
<li>
<span>Menu 1</span>
<div class="sub-menu">
<ul>
<li>sub1</li>
<li>sub2</li>
</ul>
</div>
</li>
<li>
<span>Menu 2</span>
</li>
and here is the CSS you must attach :
li .sub-menu {
visibility:hidden;
opacity:0;
/*and more custom CSS as you need*/
}
li:hover .sub-menu {
visibility:visible;
opacity:1;
}
You can use transition to animate your effects .
You should take a look at using icon fonts instead of pictures, makes the whole site much smaller if you are using many images like this and is much more efficient, making a jsfiddle for you now.
Having a brain freeze...
I want to do this :
<li>
<a>
<p>text</p>
<p class="x">text</p>
</a>
</li>
I know I can't. So how do I ? (No JS/jQuery etc)
Change <p> to some inline element (e.g. <span>) and give li a span a style of display: block;, I guess.
<li>
<a>
<span>text</span>
<span class="x">text</span>
</a>
</li>
You could do that in HTML(5). But support in some browsers (Firefox) is flakey. See: http://html5doctor.com/block-level-links-in-html-5/
The best way is to use naturally inline elements such as <span>s instead of block level elements inside the anchor.
This validates as XHTML 1.1:
<li>
<p>text</p>
<p class="x">text</p>
</li>
I'm assuming what you're getting at is you want the entire block of text in the list item, and maybe the entire list item, to be clickable?
First, a paragraph tag is a block level item, but an anchor tag is inherently an inline element. You can't place that inside an anchor tag, it's not semantically correct and it won't validate. Do something like this instead:
<ul class="myList">
<li>
<a href="#">
<strong>This is the title</strong>
<span>This is the link text</span>
</a>
</li>
</ul>
Assuming you want the entire area of the list item to be clickable, you can apply display:block; to the anchor tag using css. Note that if you've assigned a different height to the list item and want everything to be clickable, you'll need to set the height on the tag as well.
.myList a { display:block; }
And if you want the strong tag to break a line (your "main text" in the link)...
.myList a strong { display:block;}
Hope that helps!
