Problem fixed. was fixed for a while.in line of helping the community out I will post this.before I started this new post I must have spent 2 hours try to fix just the thing that you guys helped me fix. so I was really tired of spending so much time try to fix one little thing, very fustrating. so when it comes to troubleshooting little things (cause I had got past the big problem, you guys helped me fix it) I did not go back and try the little stuff I normal try. I use source edit as my main html editor. I tend to use the preview generator in source edit. well off and on, not very often, but there are errors in the preview, and I know this. ie the preview does not display what is actually shown when you show the file in the browser the normal way - browse as web page. (have not found why yet, not blame source edit or any else, just not always the same) this is what happened here. when I used <ul class="..."> method it works just does not preview correct!! this has been verified. rebooted, tried it again the next day, made sure it is the same file etc. so just count it up to a preview type issue.when you said it worked in your browser, I thought I had better go back to basics.so thanks for your extra effort trying to help out the furstrated typer.now on to getting the list up close next to the paragraph above. it looks good with a <br> tag but I need a </p> to make good code. am going to try margins (neg. margins) have nto yet that's next. thanks scott100 and aspnetguy

</div> <p>As the war in Iraq drags on, us seems to be coming apart at the seams. I cite as evidence in no particular order of importance the following:<br> <ul class="list"> <li>Bigger earthquakes.</li> <li>Deadlier storms.</li> </ul> <br> still displaying this in firefox. (IE 7 works ok) see the extra dot?again thanks for trying to help me out.
-
now we are getting something. I included the span in the ul tag. IE displays it correct, but firefox still has an extra line item. a dot with nothing after it. suggestions.thanks for the explanation. yea that could make sense i guess.
-
you know it now there is another problem. I had fixed it before by just removing the first <li> tag but that does not validate. now when the <li> tag is there it, both ie and firefox, put an extra blank dot on it's own line. how would I fix this one? <div class="list"> <ul><li>Bigger earthquakes.</li> <li>Deadlier storms.</li> </ul> </div> from css code .list{line-height: 1.9em;font-size: .78em;display: list-item;list-style-type: disc;list-style-position: inside;} regards,
-
ok the </li> did not change anything. (I don't know how I missed that, but still got the error)changing to div did the trick though. why is that? it should not matter! right?I'll keep on, just don't see ... . . <ul> has to be a container ?Thanks scott100
-
when I use this code below it does not validate. as soon as I remove the span it does. why is this and how do I go about formating ul's? (there is something about type being depreciated for ul for html 4)<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN""http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <html><head><link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="stylecss.css"></head><body> <span class="te"> <ul><li>Bigger earthquakes.<br> <li>list of items here.</li> </ul></span></body></html>this is the error I get line 101 column 6 - Warning: missing </span> before <ul>Thanks
-
so is it correct to say, div.p is the same thing as div p?wait, that's not right. can you expand on that?thanks
-
1. OK OK, alright, thanks , am a happy camper now3. had n't thought of that. make sensethanks scott100, you r a BIG help, make sure your boss know that
-
ok here's a list of questions.1. when do I need a . 'dot' a : 'colon' and a space in css.I know you can not have a space forgot where but what is the logic of a.example span?2. is it better form to have an anchor <a href> inside a header <h1>or other way around? (in html)ex: <h1><a href="file.html">hello world</a></h1> vs <a href="file.html"><h1>hello world</h1></a>3. there is no need for id right, because everything that id does you can do the same thing with class, right? correct me. id is for ease of use and easier to program with.ex #navbar{}<div id=navbar>vs.navbar{}<div class="navbar">.5 there must be a faq or maybe a white paper that answers stuff like this. I have looked around the net abit, but there is so much info! w3schools is a good resource. but have not been able to answers these so far.this is not a expert question and embrassed after asking for experts. I thought I needed the top experts cause I had pulled my hair out trying to figure this site out earlier.

well now it works!!!!!!!!!!!!! didn't before.'m checking to see what's going on. maybe a typo . . . .really thank u for helping
-
thanks for your help.this does not do quite what I need. this code here a.example span needs to be and show up red let's say. if I change it to red the browser does not display it red. is this maybe cause there is a line above with the hover attribute?ideas-- other work aroundsI tried to put them in different orders and got different resultsbut not the desired results.was reading somewhere vistited had to be before hover etc. I am out of ideas.

alright SIGH,when I put my code in my css file .nextstory{border-bottom:1px solid black;width:100%;} which is the same as scott100's code right? <div style="border-bottom:1px solid black;width:100%"></div> IE puts a big old fat line in again only 6. IE 7 works fine. now if the code is in the html like it is given it works ok in all browsers.this is in the html code <div class="nextstory"></div> ok fixed it. only posting for reference for other people.I must had a control char or something in my css file cause I put everything on one line and it worked YEA. saslkdfjlkasdjflsdjf lkasdj lasjf those are happy words.sometimes copy and paste is not as good as good ole typing it in, or maybe I did a stupid thing which I have no idea what.ANDanother thing regarding IE 6, if you have a border-top or background set you'll get the nasty fat box or line.thanks again.
