unordered list in table

[yandoo]

Hiya I'm really stuck on trying to get an unordered list to appear in my table cell correctly (the unordered list is coded so that when an image is hovered over a larger one appears - this aspect works fine). It doesn't seem to fit, it makes the table wider than it should be, its not centered, it overlaps the edge of the table and theres too much of a gap between each image (see screenshot attachement). I've tried adjusting the padding and margins but it doesn't change anything.  

 

Any ideas on how I can make this work correctly please?

 

 

html/php

<td width="250" height="250" valign="top" style="border:solid; border-color:#D1D0CE; border-width:1px;"><ul class="enlarge"><li><img src="inventory_images/' . $id . '_list.jpg" alt="' . $product_name . '" /><span><img src="inventory_images/' . $id . '_small.jpg" alt="' . $product_name . '" /></span></li></ul><p class="SmallText" align="center"> '.$details.'<center><form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="cart.php"><input type="hidden" name="pid" id="pid" value='.$id.' /><input type="submit" value="" name="button" id="button" class="cardbutton" /></form></center></p></td>

css

ul.enlarge{
list-style-type:none; /*remove the bullet point*/
margin-right:0px;
}
ul.enlarge li{
display:inline-block; /*places the images in a line*/
display:inline;
position: relative;
z-index: 0; /*resets the stack order of the list items - later we'll increase this*/
margin:0px 0px 0 0px;
}
ul.enlarge img{
background-color:#eae9d4;

ul.enlarge span img{

}
ul.enlarge li:hover span{ 
top: -300px; /*the distance from the bottom of the thumbnail to the top of the popup image*/

}
ul.enlarge li:hover:nth-child(2) span{
left: -100px; 
}
ul.enlarge li:hover:nth-child(3) span{
left: -200px; 
}

Thank you very much.

I fixed it by: 

 

ul.enlarge{
list-style-type:none; /*remove the bullet point*/
margin-right:-40px;
}

 

This has made it so there is harldy any gap between each photo and I still don't understand why I would need to use -40px in the margin. 

 

Thanks
