• I’m going a bit mad here. I’m working on my sidebar after finally getting the content part of my site to work properly. My problem is, for some reason in the category and monthly parts, it’s imposing ul and li tags where I don’t want them. It also does it with the link bits, even though I removed those tags from the “before” and “after” boxes in the link categories settings page.
    Can someone tell me how to fix this?

  • The list tags are supposed to be there. If you don’t want the bullets, get rid of them in the CSS.

    It’s not so much the bullets… the problem is with the way I format my code and how the ul and li tags complicate things.

    The ul and li tags are defined in wp-layout.css
    You can remove or adapt them by editing that file.

    @anonymous,
    You can use wp-layout.css to style the UL and LI tags, but in order to actually remove them from the code, you would have to edit the index.php file.

    I don’t know if I could be allowed to encourage you to keep the list tags intact in your menu.
    All the css gurus (Meyer, Zeldeman, Listapart and co) say this is the way to go. Once your links are under control in a list you can apply all kinds of fancy effects to them because they are readily accessible thru child selectors. I have a feeling you may be thinking in terms of a table. Matter of choice and it will certainly validate but whether that is the *best* solution is a matter for you. On a broader note when the day dawns as it hope it will that you find you are more at ease with css you may find it absolutely ROCKS. BTW:- no one has yet challenged a css guru to reproduce a table layout and he has not succeeded. Good luck and keep on hacking.
