<li> bullet-number positioning 1

[mgriffith]

is there a way to move the bullet or number list item prefix closer to the text?

i'm getting something that looks like this

1. hello
2. item 2


(ok a bit exaggerated), but i want it to be like this
1. hello
2. item 2

li {padding: 0px; margin: 0px;} doesn't seem to do anything...any other ideas?

thanks. mike griffith

try 'indent' or 'text-indent' - one of those may work for you Tony

<li style=&quot;padding-left:1px&quot;>hello
<li style=&quot;padding-left:1px&quot;>item 1

or apply class, ie

<style>
.LIPadding {padding-left:1px}
</style>

<li class=LIPadding>hello
<li class=LIPadding>item 1

Hi Mike,

I'm sorry to say Tony and sjravee, but text-indent or padding-left only has affect the total <li> {bullit + text)

Mike wants to get the text closer to the bullit.
This is what you need, Mike:

<li><span style=&quot;margin-left:-10px; position:absolute; &quot;>text 1</span></li>

- instead of span you can use also div or font
- I think -10 is the closest to the bullit
- If you define a positive integer the text will move to the right (from the normal staring point).

see here the difference:

<li><span style=&quot;margin-left:-10px; position:absolute; &quot;>text 1</span></li>
<li>text 2</li>
<li style=&quot;padding-left:2px;&quot;>text 3</li>
<li style=&quot;text-indent:2px;&quot;>text 3</li>

<li><span style=&quot;margin-left:-10px; position:absolute; &quot;>text 1</span></li>
<li>text 2</li>
<li style=&quot;padding-left:5px;&quot;>text 3</li>
<li style=&quot;text-indent:5px;&quot;>text 3</li>
<li style=&quot;padding-left:-5px;&quot;>text 3</li>
<li style=&quot;text-indent:-5px;&quot;>text 3</li>

Hope this helps,
Erik
