I have a couple un-ordered lists on my page. Both lists use list-style: disc inside;
. Each list's list-items have a couple div
's inside them. The problem is that the list-item's content takes up multiple lines and the disc is appearing vertically, at the bottom of the multi-line list-item.
Here is a screenshot kind of showing the problem I am experiencing. Note that I stole the image from a similar question, it is not my HTML or CSS.
Here is a striped down version of my HTML:
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css">
</head>
<body>
<div id="billing_form">
<div id="purchase_items">
<h2>Your purchase</h2>
<h4>Items:</h4>
<div class="items">
<ul>
<li>
<div class="item">First Product - one year license</div>
<div class="price">$99.00 USD</div>
</li>
<li>
<div class="item">Second product & 3 year Product Plan</div>
<div class="price">$125.00 USD</div>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="subtotal">SUBTOTAL: $224.00 USD</div>
<h4>Discounts:</h4>
<div class="discount">
<ul>
<li>
<div class="item">A really long discount item name - with extra info on three lines!</div>
<div class="price">- $20.00 USD</div>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="total">TOTAL: $204.00 USD</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
And here is the CSS, as small as I thought was relevant:
html
{
font-family: sans-serif;
}
#billing_form
{
width: 350px;
margin: 0 auto;
font-size: 14px;
background-color: #EEEEEE;
}
#billing_form .items
{
position:relative;
}
#billing_form .discount
{
position:relative;
color:#3665B0;
}
#billing_form ul
{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style: disc inside;
}
#billing_form .items .item,
#billing_form .discount .item
{
display: inline-block;
width: 190px;
}
#billing_form .price
{
float: right;
padding-left: 20px;
}
#billing_form .items,
#billing_form .discount,
#billing_form .subtotal,
#billing_form .total
{
width: 100%;
}
#billing_form .subtotal,
#billing_form .total
{
text-align: right;
margin-top: 5px;
border-top: 1px solid;
font-weight: bold;
}
#billing_form #purchase_items
{
margin: 10px 10px 10px;
}
I found a similar SO question. Unfortunately, the accepted (and only) answer to it states to try position: relative;
and vertical-align: top;
but it didn't work for me. I tried it with both #billing_form ul
and #billing_form ul li
and neither worked. They also mention a IE7 hack fix, but I don't think that is relevant to me because I am experiencing the problem in Firefox 3 & 4 and Google Chrome.
Does anyone know how I can make the list-item bullets (discs) appear at the top of each line item?
