**FMS01** Can't target the left margin on UL

Hi Smee,
long time no smee
here's a screenshot from chromes developer tools, that shows what you are trying to remove is the default (browser style) padding on the ul.

ul{padding:0;} 

Hope that helps.

Hello Mr Tony *waving*

Oh very funny! Be careful, you may soon be overwhelmed with me. I always keep an eye on the proceedings though it's just that after all these years I still struggle with every line so am still not up to troubleshooting other's code

How-sum-ever...I know what it looks like, I could see it with Firebug...'cept I didn't know what purple meant. Is there a color code to that thing? I thought it was a margin but tried everything I could think of... browser eh? No wonder I jolly well couldn't target it. I kept putting things in front of the UL.

Thanks Tony {mwah}

...forgot to ask how I now move the list items so they always line up with the text in the 'current' one - under H in home in this instance.

The basic idea is to always have the same padding and margin.
So remove the padding form .current and add it to them all.

Ummm... no, now I've got no 'air' between the edge of the button and the text - is there any way to do that? I don't mind if the red sticks out left, I'd just like the text to line up.

I think I may have been to clever for myself putting it on 'current' but I had to make a new button because the student didn't provide a blank one and the organisation wanted one of the menu items changed.

ETA: Changes here

ETA 2 : I need to move the background independently of the list - do I need another clas/div for it?

Hmmm...list-style-image might be the go but now it's waaay to far left - padding moves the list of course.

Remove padding from li, put it on the anchor, set li background to no-repeat, and set width for li to 189px.

If #navwrap only wraps the ul, you don't need it. UL is already a block container.

I think that's it.

cheers,

Hello Gary

Thanks sooo much for looking at this. Unfortunately I'm due out now but I will try it later tonight when I get home. {mwah}

You forgot the list-style: none but it's okay, I figured it out

Much better but I'd still like a bit of 'air' between the text and the edge of the red button please.

I thought you'd already done that.

Um,

Example:

#navwrap a {
    font-weight: bold;
    padding-left: 1.25em; 
    text-decoration: none;
}

Oops...didn't know a stood for 'anchor' as well as 'active'

I will try that when I get my new ISP sorted *sigh*

Yaaaay!....it's bayoodiful {mwah}

Thank you sir, much appreciated
