Removing ul indentation with CSS
I cannot seem to remove the indent from my unordered list when long lines in my list wrap around. Here is what my list looks like:
- Windows users can use putty
- Mac users can use the Terminal.app
- Linux users can use SSH [email protected] port 22
- ...........>Or use an SFTP program like Cyberduck just point it at .........................................>ourserver.com, port 22
(the dots show the indents)
I've read a bunch of solutions and tried setting margin and padding to zero, using text-indent, list-style, but nothing works. I think the problem is that there is a heading above the list that I need to be centered and so I'm setting the margins to auto and then it's messing up the list below. But even if I put say two divs inside the parent div it doesn't work.
Here is the HTML/CSS (I included everything in case there is some setting that is causing all of the other solutions to fail)
<div id="info">
<p><strong>Did you know you can SSH directly to ourserver.com?</strong> </p>
<ul>
<li>Windows users can use putty</li>
<li>Mac users can use the <a href="http://www.terminfo.org">Terminal.app</a></li>
<li>Linux users can use SSH [email protected] port 22</li>
<li>Or use an SFTP program like <a href="http://cyberduck.ch/">Cyberduck</a> just point it at ourserver.com, port 22</li>
</ul>
</div>
#info {
color:#FFFFFF;
width:440px;
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
border-radius: 10px;
border-style:solid;
border-width:2px;
border-color:#FFF;
padding-bottom:20px; padding-left:20px; padding-right:20px;
background-image: -webkit-gradient(linear, 0% 0%, 0% 100%, from(#333333), to(#cccccc));
overflow: hidden;
}
#info ul li {
float:left;
}
Solution 1:
This code will remove the indentation and list bullets.
ul {
padding: 0;
list-style-type: none;
}

Solution 2:
-webkit-padding-start: 0;
will remove padding added by webkit engine
Solution 3:
To maintain the bullets you can replace the list-style: none with list-style-position: inside or the shorthand list-style: inside:
ul {
list-style-position: inside;
padding-left: 0;
}
ul {
list-style-position: inside;
padding-left: 0;
}
<ul>
<li>Milk</li>
<li>Cheese
<ul>
<li>Blue cheese</li>
<li>Feta</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
