Hi. I’m having an issue with an unordered list (vertical navigation). The problem is that I have a left-border rule going down the side of the navigation and the text doesn’t like up with the rule at the top. I’d attached a screen shot, but the problem is on I.E. 7 which I don’t have on this computer. You can see what it’s doing here http://www.brierscpa.info. It’s in the right-hand sidebar. All of the text drops down leaving a huge gap above it. Here is my css:
Code:@charset “UTF-8”;
h1 {
font-size: 20px;
color: #0B1E52;
margin-bottom: -8px;
font-weight: normal;
letter-spacing: 1.5px;
}
.h1body {

June 16, 2009 at 1:50 pm #59207apostropheParticipantYou can add this to the top of your stylesheet for now but you should really look at doing a proper css reset.
Code:* {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;

June 16, 2009 at 2:38 pm #59209blueturtleParticipantThanks for answering my post. I tried adding the code below to the style sheet and it didn’t work. Guess I’ll have to look at doing a reset. I’m not familiar with this technique. Any pointers?
Code:* {
margin: 0;
