<ul> within another <ul> inherits style
I have the following structure in some HTML:
<ul class="li_inline"> <li> <ul class="li_block"> <li>Stuff</li> <li>Stuff under stuff</li> </ul> </li> <li> <ul class="li_block"> <li>Stuff</li> <开发者_高级运维;li>Stuff under stuff</li> </ul> </li> </ul>
With the CSS like this:
.li_inline li { display: inline; } .li_block li { display: block; }
What I would like to happen is to have the two inner <ul>
s side by side, but any <li>
s inside them to be below each other. This is so I can get a sidebar and main body side by side, but elements inside them behave normally (ie. one below the other).
Can someone suggest some CSS I can use so that the inner (li_block
) lists' <li>
elements are displayed as block elements, but the <ul>
s themselves are displayed side by side?
Thanks,
James
Use a reset rule.
ul ul { list-style:none; padding: 5px 20px; margin: 5px 10px; }
In your case using the !important
can get your job done. But try not to use it
UPDATE
Solution: http://jsfiddle.net/Starx/KHjmP/ (FF3+, Safari 4+, IE8+)
it ain't pretty but you get the jist of it :)
<div style="overflow: hidden;">
<ul class="li_block" style="float: left;">
<li>Stuff</li>
<li>Stuff under stuff</li>
</ul>
<ul class="li_block" style="float: left;">
<li>Stuff</li>
<li>Stuff under stuff</li>
</ul>
</div>
This worked for me:
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
ul.outer{}
ul.outer > li{
float: left;
}
ul.outer > li > ul > li{
display: block;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<ul class="outer">
<li>
<ul>
<li>1.1</li>
<li>1.2</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<ul>
<li>2.1</li>
<li>2.2</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</body>
</html>
You should be able to do something as simple as the following. I tested it in Firefox, Chrome and IE7.
.li_inline > li {
display: inline;
}
.li_inline > li > ul {
float: left;
}

.li_inline li {
display: inline-block;
float: left;
}
.li_block li {
display: block;
clear:both;
}
First, thanks for everyone's help! I'm really sorry to look like I'm ignoring your hard efforts away, but I have taken note of all your answers, and they're all very handy.
The solution I have come up with is to simply use display: inline-block
for both inner ul
s, with the outer one left default.
Once again, thanks for your help everyone.
James
