Unordered List Problem

I'm trying to create a bulleted (unordered) list in
Dreamweaver MX. For example:
List Title
* First Bulleted list
@ Lower Level List
: Lower Level List
I don't see anyway to do this without having a space (hard
return) between each line, which I don't want. I've tried editing
code and googled for a solution to no avail. Any suggestions? If
I've not been clear explaining what I'm trying to do please let me
know.

You do the hard returns first - then select the elements and
make it an UL
<p>List Title</p>
<p>Item One</p>
<p>Item Two</p>
<p>Item Two-One</p>
<p>Item Two-Two</p>
Turns into this:
<p>List Title</p>
<ul>
<li>Item One</li>
<li>Item Two
<ul>
<li>Item Two-One</li>
<li>Item Two-Two</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>

Problem with One column Unordered list.

Help me out !!!
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.
Let me know what I'm doing wrong or how to fix it.
Thanks
- Richard

Thanks for replying, Scott
Here is the app http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=19793:1
I want to display only 4 rows (table has around 10 rows). I couldn't display more than 2. If I change the template, then everything works fine. Its just with the "One Column Unordered List" template that is not working.
Thanks.

TEXT ALIGN PROBLEM UNORDERED LIST SPRY PANEL

When a sentence is too long for its container it breaks to the line below
In a vertical unordered list with square bullets how do I get the word below
to line up with its parent sentence above? just like in this sentence. Reference below.

We would need to see your CSS & HTML code.
My guess is that you removed default settings (margins & padding) from your unordered lists -- perhaps with a reset CSS.

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.

Unordered list bullets and Spry Accordion widget

In all browsers except IE (surprise, surprise!), the page
works fine. Otherwise the bullets in my unordered list appear at
the bottom of the multiline text they are associated with. I
haven't had this problem in similar pages not using the accordion
widget.
Please have a look:

Inserting ordered/unordered list items breakes the document design

Hi,
I use JEditorPane to edit HTML document. When I insert ordered/unordered list items, it breakes the design of the document. For example, I have next peace of the document:
<center>
This text is centered.
One more line...
</center>
after inserting list item between text lines, document looks like :
<center>
This text is centered.
</center>
<ol>
<li>
</li>
</ol>
<center>
One more line...
</center>
Note, that center tag is closed before list item and opened after it.
Is it possible that inserted list items will save the original design of text around ?
Thanks.
.Vlad.

Change the Leading in the Character Pallet to a smaller number, and increase the Space After in the Paragraph Pallet.
The space between lines in the same paragraph is the leading, the space between paragraphs is not leading, and trying to achieve it with the leading field always creates more problems than it solves.

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>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;

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?

Unordered Lists Print as Ordered Lists?!

The only way I can figure out to indent text in iWeb is with the "Text Indent" parameter under "List" in the Text Inspector. I used that to format the following page:
http://homepage.mac.com/william.blattner/ISPS/2006.html
It looks fine on the screen, but when you try to print the page, phantom numbers appear at the beginning of every indented line. When I inspected the source code for the page, I noticed that iWeb is using the "OL" tag – the ordered list tag, which will generate numbers by default.
Three questions for anyone out there:
1. Is there another way to produce the indent, without using the "Text Indent" parameter?
2. Has anyone else had this problem?
3. Is it possible that this is a product of my publishing to homepage.mac.com, rather than web.mac.com?
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8) iWeb 1.1.2
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8) iWeb 1.1.2

I understand that it's an invalid property, the property is not defined at all. The web standard is that if you have an unordered list (ul) then it uses bullet points, and if you use an ordered list (ol) then it uses numbers. This is completely backwards on the new update, and since we develop over 400 websites, it will be a waste of our time to go back through every site and add a style type.

Need Quick Help with Unordered List in Table (text too small)

Hi,
I have a table with 2 unordered lists and the font size is smaller than what I need.
I'm using CSS and have checked all of my font sizes and I have all of what I consider my normal text set to 12.
When my client views the page on his browser, the unordered lists appears to be about a size 8. I checked on my cell phone and I see what he's talking about.
I set the <ul> and <li> to font size 12, but the problem still exists.
It's almost like the table is scaling the text down.
I worked all night trying to figure out what I've done wrong (newbie ) and I can't fix it and my client is waiting!
Here's the page: http://www.precisioncleaning.com/expert_witness_services.html
Please help!
Thanks,
Kathy

I tried adding a new CSS rule to the table font, but it didn't work.
I also edited the <tr> and <td> but still didn't work.
I think something higher up is messing the table up. I don't know anything about specificity or how to see who has the power to overwrite the table.
Do you?

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?

Floating images with an unordered list

I am having a problem trying to find the proper way to float an image to the left of an unordered list. In different browers it responds differently - the image will sometimes find it's way between the bullets and the text rather than having the bullets and text wrap around the right side of the image. I have changed margins to try to push the bullets as far out as possible. I've dragged the image to the end of of a line thinking that it will automatically float left of the bullets (of course I am using the .fltlft class). But the positioning is not consistent in any browser.

Thak Marksey and Nancy, but I am still having issues. I tried the container solution. I altered the source code to this (the bold is what I altered): (again, this is just one of the lists)
<p><a name="service" id="service"></a><strong>REGULAR OR SPECIAL SERVICE MUSIC EXPECTATIONS</strong></p>
<div style="fltlft">
<img src="saxophone.jpg" alt="sax" width="227" height="170" class="fltlft" />
</div>
    <ul>
      <li>Martha will work with the Director of Music to determine the overall service needs, from the theme of the service to particular musical requirements</li>
      <li>Martha will rehearse the choir and/or other musicians ahead of the service</li>
      <li>Martha will meet with the Liturgist and/or Pastor ahead of the service to coordinate any special requirements</li>
      <li>Martha and Dana will provide a prelude, a postlude, an offertory, gifts of music (special music), hymn accompaniment, liturgical music, incidental background music and accompaniment for any special music</li>
      <li>Martha and Dana will play for special services, such as Baptisms, Lessons and Carols, Candlelight Services, Christmas Eve, Lent, Capital Campaign Kickoff, Rally Day</li>
    </ul>
    <p class="clearfloat"/>
In firefox and and chrome it looks fine. But in Internet Explorer, the bullets in the list disappear. Internet explorer created most of the original problem. Before I made this change, the image appeared between the bullets and the text in IE.
I do have an external css attached to this page which has the .fltlft class which I applied to the images. But before I had not addressed the .clearfloat issue (which I also am not sure if I applied correctly).
What am I doing wrong????

When will Adobe Muse support ordered and unordered lists?

When will Adobe Muse support ordered and unordered lists instead of forcing users to create manually formated bullet points? I've asked this question before, but never saw an answer to it. I know others have asked it as well. Adobe has set a high bar with its other solutions. It doesn't look good that Muse does not support ordered and unordered lists at this late date.

Lance,
Thanks for responding - I guess I pushed a button
My perception of the forums and response from Adobe is based upon looking at most of the postings in the "bugs" forum. There are lots of reads, very few replies.
Given the fact that many users have asked about bullets and other basic text formating I am surprised that there is still no sign of them. Perhaps it is felt that there are workarounds that will do. The truth is, as you noted, that none of the workarounds are great, some are not even practical. For my specific case, I would have been happy to use workaround #1, except that the line items were hyperlinks, and I needed to open them in a separate window using the javascript window.open function. As I've detailed in other posts, there is a real problem with this in Muse. Hyperlinked javascript calls are invoked via the "href=" attribute, but this doesn't work properly in a number of browsers. There isn't a way to tell Muse to use onclick instead (which works for all browsers). This led me to have to use embedded html.
That leads me to try #2, which is to use CSS styling in the embedded html. This too gave me fits. Using a <style> section to set the attributes for <ul> or <li> did not work. I can only assume that the tags inside the embedded HTML have a Muse-generated id or class. I tried to get the bullets by setting the list-style-type in the <ul> tag itself using the style attribute, but this did not work (it should). It does work if you put the list-style-type in the <li> tags. This is pretty tedious, and led me to create text files containing the html separate from Muse so that I can use an editor to copy repeated strings. Then I cut and paste into the embedded html container.
Note that, even though I finally found something that works, it is not visible in the design view, so you can't even tell it works without previewing it!
I haven't tried option #3, but given the need to force the use of onclick I imagine that would not be possible with your widget. I was aware of the list widget however.
I'll have to look at the Mucow docs and give it a try. The docs are a bit light - any plans to flesh them out?
Thanks,
Gareth

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:

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.
