ul{
display: inline;
}
<ul>hi
<li>
1234
</li>
<li>
5678
</li>
</ul>
<ul>hello
<li>
abcdef
</li>
<li>
ghijkl
</li>
</ul>
question:the ul items(hi,hello) in above css code moved a couple of places to the right if I used the css display:inline tag . But They do not get moved if I execute with a css ul tag having no display:inline value..please explain. and second question why have the circle markers disappeared ?
>Solution :
li
elements have a display value equal to list-item
and following the specification they generate a block box so you end having a block element inside and inline element.
The above behavior is also defined in the specification and leads to the result you get. More detail: Is it wrong to change a block element to inline with CSS if it contains another block element?
why have the circle markers disappeared ?
It’s still there but hidden on the left because the default behavior is list-style-position: outside
ul{
display: inline;
}
li {
margin-left: 20px;
}
