Displaying a nested unordered list

I have a Flash page that goes out and reads an XML file, then displays the information in it. Most of the time, it works great. However, when it comes to nested lists, it doesn't work. I am using CDATA so that I can use HTML code to display the information as intended. But Flash absolutely refuses to display a nested list correctly. For example, if I put in there <ul><li>item 1 <ul><li>subbullet 1</li><li>subbullet 2</li></ul></li></ul>, it displays everything as if I had made each of them individual list items under one master <ul></ul>.
There's got to be a way to get Flash to understand and display a nested list. It's a simple thing to do, I know it. I just can't figure it out. Does anyone else know?

As found on the flex community blog: (http://blog.flexcommunity.net/?p=38)
"Ordered and unordered lists (<ol> and <ul> tags) are not recognized by Flash Player, so they do not modify how your list is rendered. All list items use bullets."
This means that you will need to do that formatting yourself to get it to look correct. Take a look at the textformat tag that Flash uses, which will allow you to play around with the padding to get the effect you want.

Validating an unordered list navigation

Hi.
My website isn't validating because of this error (repeated a few times on every page).
Can anyone help me fix it please.
Thank you very much
      <li><a href="../legislation/index.html">Legislation</a></li>
✉
The mentioned element is not allowed to appear in the context in which       you've placed it; the other mentioned elements are the only ones that       are both allowed there and can contain the element mentioned.       This might mean that you need a containing element, or possibly that       you've forgotten to close a previous element.
One possible cause for this message is that you have attempted to put a       block-level element (such as "<p>" or "<table>") inside an       inline element (such as "<a>", "<span>", or "<font>").

im thinking it might be because i have an unordered list with a nested unordered list inside it.
would something like this cause validation problems?

JTextPane ordered-list, unordered-list

Hi
I am using RTFEditorKit and want to implement " ordered-list, unordered-list " in a JTextPane. Does anyone has some solution to this?
Thanx
Hamza

Start a new, blank HTML page. Put your lists on it. Are they
behaving as
expected? If so, and I suspect that it's so, then it's
something else on
your original page. Can we see it?

Unordered list displayed horizontally

Hello,
I am really new to Dreamweaver and I tried to complete (succesfully) the video on how to build my first website.
Following the instruction was not so complicate...
I tried to do pretty much alone the same focusing in creating the button from an unordered list
I did with no CSS file, I created a new one empty. I am able to remove the bullet point, align the list but I can not display the button horizontally and I do not understand why.
This is what I did:
create a Navigation (id= buttons)
create an unordered list
create a CSS file empty
add a selection #buttons ul where I deleted bullet point and aligned the list
add a selection #buttons a here I have problems. I apply with 25% (4 buttons) and set the float option to the left but the list remains vertical
What I do wrong???? It seems I am doing like in the video. Is maybe related to the CSS file? Is not correct doing that with an empty one?
Thanks for any help

Hello, thanks for your answer. Of course it is working, but still I do not get why is not working mine.
here it is the html
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Home</title>
<link href="styles/main copy 2.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
</head>
<body>
<nav id="navbar">
<ul>
    <li>Home</li>
    <li>Products</li>
    <li>Services</li>
    <li>Contacts</li>
</ul>
</nav>
</body>
</html>
and here the CSS
#navbar ul {
          list-style-type: none;
          margin-top: 0px;
          margin-right: 0px;
          margin-bottom: 0px;
          margin-left: 0px;
          padding-top: 0px;
          padding-right: 0px;
          padding-bottom: 0px;
          padding-left: 0px;
#navbar a {
          width: 25%;
          display: block;
          float: left;

Trouble displaying A drop down list in Contribute

I am having trouble with a client that has downloaded Contribute onto their windows computer. The page in question contains a drop-down nav- bar which I coded using CSS. I have had the page certified by W3 CSS and the html also went through at 100%. It displays perfectly in all browsers and also in my version of Contribute 6.5. My client is also running the same version of Contribute, however the drop-down menu won't render properly in their version of contribute unless they try to edit the page. This is a problem because they rely on the navigation bar to navigate the site for editing. On their version of contribute the navigation bar appears as a lengthy unordered list instead of a smooth drop-down list which appears on all other browsers and versions of Contribute. I have changed the name of the CSS file and its location several times. This hasn't solved the issue. Any suggestions please???

Hi Dominic,
Thanks for showing interest.
I spoke to Adobe staff today who were very helpful. They put it down to a bad installation of Contribute. I have suggested to the client to clear the cache and reinstall Contribute tomorrow morning. IE is working fine on my clients machine and shows the page correctly. I will keep you posted on how it goes.
This is how it displays on the same version of Adobe Contribute on my Mac and all browsers.

Ordered and Unordered Lists viewed in WYSIWYG Editor in RoboHelp 10

I recently upgraded a project from RH 9 (9.0.2.271) to RH 10 (10.0.0.287). Ordered and unordered lists display in the WYSIWYG Editor with more spacing around each line. When I generate the output to HTML Help, the spacing looks fine. I also tested generating output to WebHelp, and again, the output looks fine.
I have paragraph and list styles defined in my style sheet that I apply to the text in the topic. I also looked at the styles in RH 10 and Media is set to "None."
Using the Style Pod, I looked at the set up of the parapgraph and list styles. For those styles, (and my body text styles - which look fine in the WYSIWYG Editor) have spacing before and after spacing set. (NOTE: These styles were created in RH8 and the WYSIWYG Editor displayed the styles appropriately in RH8 and RH9.) Even though I changed the style sheet, the WYSIWYG Editor is still displaying more space around the styles then I am expecting.
I know this is not a huge issue since the output looks fine, but I want to understand why the WYSIWYG Editor isn't working as I expect. I would like the editor to display with correct spacing.
I attached a few screen captures showing what I see.
HTML Help Output
Thanks in advance for your help.

I suspect part of the issue is that your list styles have spacing above and below and then you have applied paragraph styles that also have spacing above and below.
Using both is OK and is how I work. However, I do not have any spacing above and below in my list styles. I rely on the paragraph style for that. It looks like Rh's Design Editor is applying both but browsers are not.
It is still not quite the same in a browser as in Design Editor but it is much closer. There will also be browser differences anyway so it's a case of getting some balance.
Try removing the before and after spacing in the list style. Alternatively, if you do not generate printed documentation then rely on the list style only. (Select the lists in a topic and set paragraph to None).
Let us know if that is close enough.

Problem with One column Unordered list.

I have a "one column unordered list" as my report template. The query will return atleast 5 rows at any given point of time. The page shows only 3 records. I tried modifying "Number of Rows" attributes etc., nothing works.

Trouble centering an unordered list menu inside a div

Hello,
I have an unordered list menu that is giving me a fit. I can't seem to figure out how to center it in the div. Structure is like this:
<div id="first-nav">
<ul>
<li>one</li>
<li>two</li>
<li>three</li>
<li>four</li>
<li>five</li>
</ul>
</div>
In my css I have:
#first-nav{width:100%; text-align:center;}
It's not moving the UL to the center of the div. Link Here http://skeeterz71.com/gothic/
I'm at a loss of what to do. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

I figured it out. I forgot to set mu UL to display: inline-block;
It is always something simple and this time in the morning, easy to overlook:)

Unordered list not showing up as indented bullet points within Accordian

http://www.foundationforyoutharts.org/test/Programs.html
I have a page using the spry accordian, and about five different catagories of information. Some of the copy is in unordered lists (in martial arts catagories), but it shows up as as regular text. Any ideas on how to make it view as a typical unordered list with bullet points and indented?
Thanks for taking time to look at this.

Add a margin-left of 20px to your ul.
Either added it in your stylesheet. or directly on the element:
<ul style="margin-left:20px">

Reading text file and display in the selectOnechoice list item In ADF.

Hi,
I have a requirement to read the text field which have list of strings and that string display in the SelectOneChoice List item component on page load.
I am using Jdeveloper 11.1.2.3 version.
Any suggestion will highly appreciated..
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Google will produce you with hints on how to read content of a file from Java (ideally the file uses some delimiter). Then in a managed bean, you read the file and save its content in a list of SelectItem. So your managed bean should have the following property and setter/getter pairs
ArrayList<SelectItem> listFromFile = new ArrayList<SelectItem>();
public void setListFromFile(ArrayList l){ //you don't need this }
public ArrayList<SelectItem> getListFromFile(){
   //read file content and iterate over the file list entries
for(i=0, i < fileContent.length, ++i){
     SelectItem si = new SelectItem();
     si.setValue(... the value to update the list of value with ...);
     si.setLabel("... the label to show in the list ...");
     listFromFile.add(si);
return listFromFile;
}The af:selectOneChoice component should look as follows
<af:selectOneChoice id=".." value="...attribute to update with selection ..." ...>
   <f:selectItems value="#{managedBean.listFromFile}"/>
</af:selectOneChoice>Frank

How do I create an unordered list with three items and link to id's

How do I create an ordered list with three items and linl to id's on my page

Thanks, I guess what I was really asking, Is there a n option in the insert menu or somewhere where Dreamweaver does it for you.
I am not clear on what you are wanting DW to do for you? Is it that you want it to insert a three item unordered list? No - there's no such function. You would need to click in Design view where you want the list to go, click on the bulleted list icon on the Property inspector, and then enter the three items separated by carriage returns. Then you'd have to link each item specifically.
To enter the named anchors to element ID values, CS5 has no way to do this. You'd have to enter those links manually.

Unordered list not printing correctly

I created a heading 3 followed immediately by an unordered
list. However, when I print the webpage out, I see the heading 3
fine and then the 1st bullet appears where it should but the text
for the first bullet begins several lines down the page. All the
other bullets are thus pushed down as well but the spacing for the
remaining bullets is fine. It's just that the text for the first
bullet begins way down the page. Everything looks OK in the
browser; just when printed is the problem.
Here is the process I followed. Selected heading 3 on the
property inspector and typed my heading. Then went to
insert-->html-->text objects-->unordered list and began
typing in the info for each bullet
My code is below. Please help.

It's most likely an IE issue with floats. I already get this
effect in
the normal browser view - the form is pushed down after the
left-side
"New Items" box. The print preview looks even worse as
described.
Actually I don't have a quick solution at hand. A while ago I
had a
similar problem on one of my sites, but can't remember what I
did to
solve it ... In many cases it's enough to simply apply a
height: 1% or
zoom: 1
to the floated element to get the rendering right in IE. You
just have
to make sure that only IE sees these hacks. Conditional
comments are
really helpful for that.

Rounded corners on unordered list

I'd like to be able to have style my vertical menu, made with
an
unordered list, to have rounded corners. The menu is a fixed
width, but
the items could sometimes run onto two lines, so the height
of each item
needs to be flexible.
I created images called top.gif and bottom.gif for the curves
and when
I've done boxes I've made the bottom image a background to
the box div
tag and the top image a background to the heading tag within
the div.
However with the unordered list I don't really have two
elements to
attach the images to, if you understand what I mean?
I've been googling but haven't yet found a solution. Can
anyone
recommend a way of doing this?
Thanks
Vix

Could could wrap the UL in a DIV, giving you two elements.
You could give the first LI and last LI custom classes,
giving you to
elements.
While not pristine, I often will use wrapper divs to attach
CSS too:
<div id="menuOuterwrapper">
<div id="innnerWrapper">
<ul>...</ul>
</div></div>
That works for me in that it keeps my 'style HTML' separate
from my 'content
HTML'.
A goofy interpretation of 'separation of style and content',
perhaps.
