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

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?
<ul>
<li><a href="www.widget.com">LIST ITEM</a></li>

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:

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;

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">

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

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.

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.

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

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.

Validation rule using list

can anyone come with an example/

Hi,
if you validate against a query, why don't you use a LOV for users to choose from this list ?
Here's a doc that explains how to filter LOVs https://blogs.oracle.com/jdevotnharvest/entry/how_to_dynamically_filter_model If you hide the LOV query panel (which you can do declaratively) then users wont be able to override your query filter.

Cluster Validation Fails on List iSCSI Host Bus Adapters

I have an 8 Node SQL Failover Cluster.
This cluster has been in service for quite some time now, suddenly the Cluster Validation is failing...
When it gets to the "List iSCSI Host Bus Adapters" (which we do no use on any of these nodes) it fails with the error:
"An error occurred while executing the test. There was an error getting information about the iSCSI controllers installed on the nodes. There was an error retrieving information about the iSCSI host bus adapters from node 'node1'. Invalid class "
The test is not performed on any of the other nodes, it just fails.
This is causing a problem when trying to extend SQL to some of the newer nodes that have been added.
I have tried evicting and readding nodes, I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling failover clustering, among other things.
I did notice that on node7, if I attempt validation, and ONLY mention node7, the test will complete on that box only.
Again, we do not even use iSCSI, this is a Fibre Channel cluster. It's just the attempt by the validation wizard to list the iSCSI Host Bus Adapters that do not exist, that is failing....
Any thoughts? I did see a similar post which mentioned having a problem listing Fibre Channel adapters that sounded like the exact same error, but there was no resolution there either...

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.

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 - changing color of bullets

Hi,
I am using DW CC. I added an unordered list to a web page, and if possible, I'd like to change the color of the bullets. They are showing up as black, and I would like to choose something different. Can anyone tell me if / how I can do this?
Thanks in advance,

Unordered list formatting

Does anyone know how to format string below as unordered list
item, similar to HTML <ul><li>Log in and create new
task</li>.... ? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
package classes
[Bindable] public class Labels{
static public const MAIN_PAGE_HELP:String =
"Log in and create new task";
static public const MAIN_PAGE_HELP:String =
"Add category";

Well, yes I have already tried that, but this is a string
inside of a class/public const variable and I had no luck to stick
a htmlText property there. I could not figure out the syntax or
perhaps it's not belong there.

Unordered List Line Spacing

I have an unordered list on my site that was fine up until
today. All I did was edit someting else on the page, I think it was
just an image or image placeholder or something, and when I checked
the page in the browser again, the list was more than single
space...it looks like 1.5 spacing or so. How can I change this back
so the list is just single spaced? The site is
www.wetlawnirrigation.com if it helps, bottom left of the home
page. Thanks.

Hello,
Try changing this:
.style7 {
font-size: 16px;
To this:
ul.style7 li{
font-size: 16px;
margin: 0px;
Many browsers use different default margins for certain tags
if you don't
define one with CSS.
It looked fine in FireFox, but the space was there in IE as
IE has a bigger
default margin for the LI tag.
Take care,
Tim
