Hi all,

I'm getting in a knot over list items. I am using one for a  
horizontal menu and that is working fine. However, I want also to  
have a regular unordered list on one of my pages and it is not working.

The menu ul and li styles are like this:

ul {
        border-top: 1px solid #000000;
        border-bottom: 1px solid #000000;
        margin: 5px 10px 20px 10px;
        padding: 5px 0; 
        list-style: none;
        display: inline;
        float: left;
        width: 740px;
}

ul a {
        display: block;
        width: 115px;
        height: 20px;
        margin-right: 5px;
        border: 1px solid #666666;
        font-family: Arial, Helvetica, san-serif;
        font-size: 14px;
        text-decoration: none;
        text-align: center;
        color: #000000;
        background-color: #ffffff;
}

ul a:hover {
        background-color: #e9e9e9;
        border-color: #ff0000;
}

ul li {
        float: left;
}

When it came to the "normal" list I thought I could do this:

.body ul {
        border: 0;
        list-style: disc;
}

.body li {
        display: block;
        color: #0000ff;
}

(the blue text is just so that I can follow changes - I'm not going  
to keep it like this!)

However, on the page the list items seem to be displaying inline and  
with borders top and bottom - i.e. like the menu list items. I tried  
enclosing the menu buttons in a <div> and then defining the menu  
button styles like this:

#mainNav ul {
...
}

but it seems to make no difference. In all, it is not working. You  
can see the page where it is all going wrong here: http://

Any guidance much appreciated.


Ian.
