[SOLVED] UL within UL Bugs


Hartley

Recommended Posts

Hey,

 

I'm running into an issue with IE. The attached image shows IE on the left and what every other browser (FF here) looks like on the right. I can't seem to get the code to line up. Below is the relevant HTML markup:

 

                <div class="s-mid">
                	<ul class="s-bar">
                    	<li id="s-email"><a href="#">Mail</a></li>
                            <ul id="s-profile-sub">
                            	<li><a href="#">Compose Mail</a></li>
                            	<li><a href="#">View Inbox</a></li>
                                <li><a href="#">Track Messages</a></li>
                                <li><a href="#">Edit Folders</a></li>
                            </ul>
                    	<li id="s-profile"><a href="#">Profile</a></li>
                        	<ul id="s-profile-sub">
                            	<li><a href="#">View Profile</a></li>
                            	<li><a href="#">Edit Profile</a></li>
                                <li><a href="#">Edit Photos</a></li>
                                <li><a href="#">Edit Settings</a></li>
                                <li><a href="#">Profile Privacy</a></li>
                            </ul>
                    	<li id="s-blog"><a href="#">Blog</a></li>
                    	<li id="s-stats"><a href="#">My Statistics</a></li>
                    </ul>
                </div>

 

And the CSS:

/* side menu */
.s-mid a {
color:#fff;
font:11px Verdana;
text-decoration:none;
text-transform:uppercase;
}
.s-mid a:hover { text-decoration:underline; }

.s-bar {
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
.s-bar li {
	height:20px;
	width:160px;
	list-style:none;
	text-indent:22px;
}

/* menu itemization */
#s-online { background:url(../images/icons/status_online.png) no-repeat 0 1px; }
#s-email {background:url(../images/icons/email.png) no-repeat 0 1px; }
#s-profile { background:url(../images/icons/vcard.png) no-repeat 0 1px; }
#s-blog { background:url(../images/icons/book.png) no-repeat 0 1px; }
#s-stats { background:url(../images/icons/chart_bar.png) no-repeat 0 1px; }

/* my mail */
#s-mail-sub { padding:0; position:relative; }
#s-mail-sub a { text-transform:none; }
	#s-mail-sub a:hover { text-decoration:underline; }

/* my profile */
#s-profile-sub { padding:0; position:relative; }
#s-profile-sub a { text-transform:none; }
	#s-profile-sub a:hover { text-decoration:underline; }

 

It's definitely some basic stuff I'm overlooking. Thanks in advance! :)

put the sub ULs into LIs

                   </pre>
<ul class="s-bar">
                       Mail
                       
                               Compose Mail
                               View Inbox
                                Track Messages
                                Edit Folders
                            

and add this to the top of your CSS

ul {  margin:0px; padding:0px;}

Similar to what Zanus did, but to avoid a new list item, you should "embed" the sub list within the parent li tag.

 

So,

 

<ul class="s-bar">
                       <li id="s-email"><a href="#">Mail</a>
                            <ul id="s-profile-sub">
                               <li><a href="#">Compose Mail</a></li>
                               <li><a href="#">View Inbox</a></li>
                                <li><a href="#">Track Messages</a></li>
                                <li><a href="#">Edit Folders</a></li>
                            </ul>
                        </li>
                       <li id="s-profile"><a href="#">Profile</a>
                           <ul id="s-profile-sub">
                               <li><a href="#">View Profile</a></li>
                               <li><a href="#">Edit Profile</a></li>
                                <li><a href="#">Edit Photos</a></li>
                                <li><a href="#">Edit Settings</a></li>
                                <li><a href="#">Profile Privacy</a></li>
                            </ul>
                       </li>
                       <li id="s-blog"><a href="#">Blog</a></li>
                       <li id="s-stats"><a href="#">My Statistics</a></li>
                    </ul>

put this in the css:

ul ul {  margin:0px; padding:0px;}

I see, IE was throwing off that list item. I tried those and it worked beautifully. I also found a CSS Reset set of items which, when I put it in, unified the pages across all browsers, even with those nitpick 1px differences.

 

Thank you everyone for the help!
