    Question <UL> list problem

    Can you help me out please. I have a site I am mocking up and for some reason my ordered list isn't working out. I highlighted the code in red in the HTML file below that I am having problem with. I also put the CSS file below too just in case. I am refering to the HTML that starts with <UL><LI STYLE Also, I would rather have this in the CSS but I can't get it right there either.
    Thanks in advance.

    HTML:
    HTML Code:
    <!DOCTYPE HTML>
    <html><head>
        <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">

    Have you got a link to the page so we can see why it isnt working? (just saying "it isnt working" isnt very descriptive - say why it isnt working and what you're trying to achieve for more help)

    OK here is the page
    only the index.html is new, the rest of the site is an older style.

    Currently I have this where I want the list
    HTML Code:
    <p style="text-align: left;"><strong>* Available Nationwide<br>* Factory Direct Cabinetry<br>* Truly Unbeatable Pricing<br>* Shipping Included In Pricing<br>* Limited Lifetime Warranty<br>* Free Computer Design<br>* No Pressure Sales<br>* No Phony Gimmicks</strong></p>

    Side-by-side comparisons would be nice...

    I havent got time to reconstruct your code from the first post but I'm guessing you want to "float" the <li> items so they sit on a horizontal line?

    Try adding "float:left;" to your li CSS.

    That link is what I made and put up. I am trying to change this HTML

    HTML Code:
    <p style="text-align: left;"><strong>* Available Nationwide<br>* Factory Direct Cabinetry<br>* Truly Unbeatable Pricing<br>* Shipping Included In Pricing<br>* Limited Lifetime Warranty<br>* Free Computer Design<br>* No Pressure Sales<br>* No Phony Gimmicks</strong></p>
    to make it become an Unordered list with circle bullets rather than using the asterisk * I have now.

    OK, so as previous suggested;

    ... to "float" <li> items so they sit on a horizontal line ... Try adding "float:left;" to your li CSS

    And also add "list-style-type:circle;" to your ul CSS for the bullet.

    You've already got the HTML for a list so I guess you're OK there.

    Question

    OK I am confused here, sorry.

    My li in the CSS in in my #navcontainer area. I don't want to mess up my nav/menu bar.

    so is my ul under the #navcontainer area. Do I have to add new code to the .innerBox { part of the CSS to fix both of these?

    OK

    I think this illustrates how a clearer description from the start would have been better to avoid confusion.

    If I'm now following correctly;

    Dont use float in CSS as that floats items next to each other.
    Just code an HTML list instead of the paragraph with breaks and put "list-style-type:circle;" in the CSS for the ul - this will change the bullet.

    Or you can use the style="" attribute to change the button "inline" by putting it directly in the ul tag.
