Using UL class – two bullets appear in one line

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jul 15.2013

Hi,

I’m trying to use the instructions [URL=”http://css.maxdesign.com.au/listutorial/master.htm”] here[/URL] to create a ul list type with orange bullets. I also have a UL with blue bullets. (Background is I just inherited this site, blue bullets are from previous admin)

There are two problems. The biggest is that both the blue and the orange bullets show up when I use the orange bullet UL class. The second is that I can’t seem to get the spacing to work from the instructions in the link above so the orange bullet appears in the middle of the text.

CSS:
ul {
list-style-image: url(“bluebullet.png”);
}

ul.smallorng
{
list-style-type: none;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}

.smallorng li
{
background-image: url(“smallorangebullet.png”);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: 1 em;
padding-left: 20 em;
}

HTML:
<ul class=”smallorng”>
<li>item 1</li>
<li>item 2</li>
</ul>

@cbVisionJul 15.2013 — It's hard to troubleshoot without having the images, but if you just want orange bullets, you can try this simple trick:

(as long as you can change the HTML)

If I understand correctly, I think you're problem here is that you're applying the orange background to the list item, rather than the UL list style type - that's why the orange bullet is appearing in the middle of the text.

Try this instead:

ul {

list-style-image: url("bluebullet.png");

padding: 0;

margin: 0;

}

ul.smallorng {

list-style-image: url("smallorangebullet.png");

}

Success!
