We learned how to work with borders and apply them to the various elements in our last tutorial. In this article we will go over setting margins and working with padding to give your web pages a seamless look. There is, as always, a lot of ground to cover, so let's get started.
CSS: Margins and Padding - How to Set an Image as a List Marker (Page 5 of 5 )
You can also set a custom image as your list marker. In this example I will use a picture of a meatball:
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
ul
{
list-style-image: url('meatball.gif')
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<ul>
<li>Yummy</li>
<li>Gimme</li>
<li>Some</li>
</ul>
</body>
</html>
How to Place the List Marker
Though subtle, you can also choose where you list maker is positioned:
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
ul.inside
{
list-style-position: inside
}
ul.outside
{
list-style-position: outside
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p>List Position Inside:</p>
<ul class="inside">
<li><b>Awesome Villains:</b></li>
<li>Gorilla Grod</li>
<li>Thanos</li>
</ul>
<p>List position outside:</p>
<ul class="outside">
<li><b>Awesome Super Heroes:</b></li>
<li>Adam Warlock</li>
<li>Daredevil</li>
</ul>
</body>
</html>
Well that's it for this article. Come back for the next episode where we will learn to work with tables and some more advanced CSS issues.
