Yes, you can use a border. Basically just do
ul.mylist li { float: left; border-left: 1px solid black; margin: 0 0 0 5px; padding: 0 0 0 5px; } And then, you can get rid of the one at the beginner (fence post effect) by just flagging that item in your markup and doing: ul.mylist li.first { border: none } More info here: http://www.alistapart.com/articles/taminglists/ Mike On 7/12/06, cj <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On 7/12/06, Brian Cummiskey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Issue 2b: > > > > Also on this footer list, I'm using pipes as list elements, and i'd like > > to get away from this. > > ie: > > <li>one</li> > > <li>|</li> > > <li>two</li> > > > > I would like to maintain the pipe separator, but realize that this is > > poor semantics.
