Ok,
So problem here... when using list-style-position:inside in IE8 the first like is indented but every line after that is not. So the new lines appear under the bullet.
This is fine, but when I use a list with that css applied with an a tag within the li then the text automatically gets pushed to the second line, and the first line is empty.
When I remove the a tag from the li then it jumps back up.
Any idea on why this might be or is this a bug in the ie8 world or do I just need to double check my css?
Any insights would be much appreciated.
As asked here is some code
<div id="sub_nav">
<ul>
...
<li><a class="active_page" href="#">Liposculpture</a>
<ul>
<li><a href="#">What is Liposculpture?</a></li>
<li><a href="#">About Liposculpture surgery</a></li>
<li><a href="#" class="active_sub">After Liposculpture surgery</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Post Op Instructions</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Liposculpture Side Effects</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Liposuction Introduction to</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Tumescent Liposculpture</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
...
</ul>
</div>
For the CSS I will try and show it best I can
#sub_nav li {
width: 200px;
padding:4px 0;
border-bottom: 1px #CCC solid;
}
#sub_nav li a {
text-decoration: none;
color:#555;
padding:7px 15px 7px 15px;
display: block;
}
#sub_nav li ul li {
list-style-position: inside;
list-style-type: disc;
font: 11px Arial;
padding-left:15px;
color:#FFF;
border-bottom: none;
}
#sub_nav li ul li a {
padding:0;
margin:0;
text-indent: 0;
}
Hope this helps
