Problem to include links in list and specify width

[waaler]

Hello,My problem is that I want to have a list that contains links, but I also want to restrict its width to 230px. When the text and link is wider than this, then the link is split onto the next line, but the next item in the list does not move down. So the link from above it is over lapping it.You can see the problem here: www.in-the-woods.net/archives.htm The code is:CSS

div.archivelist {position: absolute; top: 490px; left: 520px; width: 230px}ul.archivechoice {font-family:serif; line-height: 1.4}

HTML

<div class="archivelist"><ul class="archivechoice"><li>Dagmar Baumunk<a href="archives/pdfs/sex_and_cinema.pdf"> ###### and Cinema</a></li><li>Jane Masumy <a href="archives/pdfs/curiosities_of_german.pdf"> The Curiosities of the German Language </a></li><li>Lone Bodot<a href="archives/pdfs/whitehouse.pdf"> Noise? Yes. Music? No.</a></li><li>Mark Simmons<a href="archives/pdfs/too_stupid_to_say_no.pdf"> Too Stupid to Say No</a></li><li>Dagmar Baumunk <a href="archives/pdfs/how_films_save_your_life.pdf"> How Films Save Your Life</a></li><li>Stroppychik<a href="archives/pdfs/pregnanncy.pdf"> A Case of Pregism?</a></li><li>Mark Simmons<a href="archives/pdfs/too_stupid_to_enjoy_christmas.pdf"> Too Stupid to Enjoy Christmas</a></li><li>Dagmar Baumunk<a href="archives/pdfs/last_tango_in_paris.pdf"> Last Tango in Paris - No Middle of the Road</a></li></ul> <div class="archivetail"> <img class="tail" src="images/archivestail.jpg"/> </div></div>

Is it simply not possible to do this, or am I doing something wrong?I know I could lay it out using the p tag with breaks, or something else, but i want to use a list.If anyone has an idea, please let me know.

[Err]

So your listed items are not automatically moving down underneath the previous listed item? This is the way I understood it.Try this.CSS:

li {  display: block;  width: 230px;}
