Unordered list makes the image indented

[kvnwpts]

Hi.

When I have three pictures in a div tag and make each of them listed items, in a unorderd list. The picture moves from the div left side and gets indented like 20px, is there a way I can avoid this?

If you apply a negative margin-left to the li element, you can fix it.

Is this the only way to do it?

There's probably some sort of default margin applied to the li element.

I haven't experimented with it enough to know for sure, but this is the only thing that I can think of off the top of my head.

Thanks Teh.

The problem is that <ul> comes with default margins/paddings. Depends on the browser. You need to set the <ul> to margin:0;padding:0;

You shoiuld really have a reset in your stylesheet. Google "Eric Meyers Reset". You can trim that down if you want . It is a bit bloated.

Cool, so I just have to copy this code into my stylesheet?

Yes. Replace that ddstylesheet with the code I pasted.

One thing that I like to do, whenever I find a boilerplate like that, is to type it up and record it as a macro in Notepad++.

Sadly, you can't copy+paste b/c N++ copies keystrokes, so you'd have to type it up. But it's incredibly useful.

Whenever I start a project (now), I just hit control+alt+shift+backspace and I'm good.

Yeah, he already mentioned that.
