I'm with davidLaakso: simplify your coding, fix any problems, and then reapply margins or padding to taste. Switch to using XHTML-transitional for now, because you're not writing strict code (who is?). I can point out a mistake or two that may be boggling you right now.
1. List items have padding or margin by default. Mozilla's list items are padded 40 pixels; IE's list items have 40 pixels of margin. So if you want to set the indent yourself, (as davidLaakso said) start by setting both padding & margin to 0. 2. Your CSS only sets the padding for one of the lists-- the left one. That's why the indentation is different for the lists. Simplifying the code should help with this, too. Now in reply to David ([EMAIL PROTECTED] too many Davids): Almost. Inline CSS is allowed but risks getting parsed (and hence breaking things) *unless* you comment it out properly: <style type="text/css"> <![CDATA[ ... unescaped CSS content ... ]]> </style> See http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#h-4.8 from which I paraphrased that example. Also, if I may be petty: no, that's definitely green. :-) --cc On 11/9/06, Dave Pierce <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi folks, > > I've got a problem on this page: > > http://www.pierceartanddesign.com/NewFiles/index.html > > You may notice that the indents aren't lined up the same in the three > lists in the green box.
