It's in the sidebar under the searchbox by the link to 'advanced search'. It's visible in all browsers but particularly noticeable in Firefox.

Here is my layout.tpl code, I've highlighted the area where I think the fault lies but I'm damned if I can see it.

Thanks.

All that code does little to help witout being able to see the CSS. do you have alink?

Nevermind I pulled it from you above code but I guess I dont see what it is your talking about.

**Lhotch** · 09-10-2008, 10:37 AM

For starters you have a nested list so you have a stray bullet in there, get rid of that.

Hi Larry

Yes I can see that the list is nested here;

Quote:

</form></div>
<li><ul>
<li><a href="http://www.mkclassifieds.co.uk/search.php">advanced search</a></li>
</ul></li>

But removing either one of the pairs of <li></li> tags removes both bullet points! What's that all about?

Tats because your not using the tags properly to begin with.

HTML Lists

**Mike-N-Tosh** · 09-10-2008, 07:30 PM

I see what's going on. As Larry pointed out, you are not using the <ul><li> tags correctly. In looking at your code, I see why. You are using your stylesheet margins and padding as indents for your html code.

Without having to correct all of your code, just simply add this to your stylesheet declaration for sidebar li: list-style-type:none;

That should correct your woes, but it just ain't right!

Hi Larry, Hi Mike,

Thanks for the advice. Before I resorted to your CSS fix Mike I tried everything to clean up my code and correct the problem at source. I just couldn't do it no matter what I tried.

Your recommendation to add list-style-type:none; to my stylesheet declaration for sidebar li: works beautifully in Opera, Firefox and Google Chrome but as always IE just sucks!

As always any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
