CSS margins: aligning a list against a float-left image
The following is my first cut at coding-up a reddit-like comment in html+css. I have a few questions about css and the general structure:
- How do I get the comment body ("The King took off his hat...") to align with the comment head ("Nathan, posted...") and the comment tail ("reply permalink ...")? I tried making the margin-bottom for .comment-left a little longer but that didn't fix the issue.
- I know I've been a little trigger-happy with the tags. Which ones are redundant?
- Is there a better/tighter way to get the same structure?
Thanks all, Nathan

Update your css with a left padding on ".comment-contents li" and a remove the margin on ".head"
.comment-contents li {
list-style-type: none;
margin-bottom: 10px;
padding-left: 60px;
}
.head {
margin-left:0px;
}
While you are at it, just use padding instead of margin for ".comment-contents li":
.comment-contents li {
list-style-type: none;
padding: 0 0 10px 60px;
}
I recommend not using padding and margin on a class unless absolutly necessary.
Don't have time to do CSS at the moment (maybe later), but you should be able to achieve the look with this markup:
<div class="comment">
<p class="user">
<a href="#">
<img src="http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/550deada0ac679dfc3c9103b674760af?s=128&d=identicon&r=PG" height="60" width="60">
</a>

<p>Chapter 1 - untitled (eecummings)</p>
<ul class="commentTools">
<li class="voteUp"><a href="#">vote up</a></li>
<li class="voteDown"><a href="#">vote down</a></li>
<li><a href="#">reply</a></li>
<li><a href="#">permalink</a></li>
<li><a href="#">offensive?</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
And the CSS
.comment {
position:relative;
padding-left:75px;
}
.comment p {
}
.comment .user img {
float:left;
margin-left:-60px;
}
.comment .commentTools {
padding-left:0;
}
.comment .commentTools li {
display:inline;
}
.comment .commentTools .voteUp, .comment .commentTools .voteDown {
position:absolute;
display: block;
left:0;
}
.comment .commentTools .voteUp {
top:0;
}
.comment .commentTools .voteDown {
top:15px;
}
.comment .commentTools .voteUp a, .comment .commentTools .voteDown a {
display:block;
width: 15px;
height: 15px;
text-indent:-5000em;
}
.comment .commentTools .voteUp a {
background: url(http://www.reddit.com/static/aupgray.gif) no-repeat;
}
.comment .commentTools .voteDown a {
background: url(http://www.reddit.com/static/adowngray.gif) no-repeat;
}
I haven't tested this so there may be some bugs. Let me know if youwant any of the CSS explained.
How about setting the p margin-left to be set at 30px?
