Arrow Bullet List Menu

Author: Dynamic Drive

This CSS list menu features category headers with a two toned background, UL elements that have their default margins and padding removed, and finally, LI elements with custom bullet images. The result is something simple but elegant, and resembling something you might have seen on this site already! Note: For a version of this menu that dynamically expands and hides its sub menus, see Accordion Menu.

The two images used:

The CSS:

<style type="text/css">

.arrowlistmenu{
width: 180px; /*width of menu*/
}

.arrowlistmenu .headerbar{

background: black url(media/titlebar.png) repeat-x center left;
margin-bottom: 10px; /*bottom spacing between header and rest of content*/
text-transform: uppercase;

}

.arrowlistmenu ul{

great job!
