ie displays small arrows before and after <li> tag

[nashsaint]

Hi,

This is how the code looks like:

<div class="menu">
	<ul>
		<li>Home</li>
		<li>About</li>
	</ul>
</div>

and this is the css

.menu {font-size: 12px; margin-left: 12px; }
.menu li {float: left; margin: 0 0; position: relative;}

This displays great in firefox and other browsers EXCEPT ie. ie displays a small greater than sign before and after EACH <li>.

I have attached the first link to illustrate.



thanks for your help.

I don't have IE but as far as I know IE doesn't just put random symbols into your code. It must be coming from somewhere else can you post a link or your whole code?

It could be related to a list-item-type but I don't know of a type that puts those in.

i think it's the background-images, or may be there's another code that have the same class like you use in that button style.

I think you're right but i didn't find anything that can cause this, hope you can help. this is the css codes for the entire menu

    background: transparent;
    display: block;
    float: left;

thanks for your help.

have you tried list-style-type:none; in your CSS?
