Hi,
How do you make the text in an unordered list the family, color, etc. you want? I don't know whether it's just me but my list keeps on coming out in Times but I've got <p> as arial.
On a related tip-- How can you remove the default margin that a list has that makes it step out an em or so from the page or div margin? I've got a list that I'd like flush down the left border of a central column div and I can't seem to get rid of that default padding.
I appreciate your time,
Rischen

The css styling for <p> only affects the <p> elements. If you want to hit the <ul> or <li> add a font-style to them. And if you unwillingly get screwed up by the cascade, you can add some !important before the style definition end ;

You can try the list-style : none; and list-style-position: outside; i think.
We could be more helpfull if you add link to a test.html with the css in action.
good luck.

list formatting
li {
font-family: arial, sans-serif;
}
ul {
margin: 0; /*IE uses margin*/
padding: 0; /*Moz uses padding*/
