Hi,

How do you make bullets on a web page and get the words next to them
to appear close to the bullets.

Right now I'm using nvu & the words are about 1 '' on the right from the
bullets & I also need to put some in the middle of the page.

Is there a WYSIWYG program that is good for making bullets or
an online tutorial to show me how to do this.

Gary

Unordered lists are used for this. As it's name implies it's a list with unordered items so every item get's a bullet. Ordered lists on the other hand are ordered, and every list item gets a number. Like so;

• Item 1
• Item 2
• Item 3
• Item 4

1. Item 1
2. Item 2
3. Item 3
4. Item 4

The actual html you use for an unordered list (the one with the bullets) is;

<ul>
<li>Item 1</li>
<li>Item 2</li>
<li>Item 3</li>
<li>Item 4</li>
</ul>

Hope that helped you out ...

it's an ordered list

I'll try it. Do you know of a WYSIWYG web page program that can do this.

Gary

All WYSIWYG editors should have this function - just look for "Insert list" or similar. Alternatively just paste ghettobert's example into your html and edit to your needs.

Depending on how fancy you want the bullets to be, you can also add everything into a 2-column table - one column for the bullets and the other one for the text. You can specify the column width for the bullet column and get the right spacing with the bullets/text that way.

I'd only recommend doing that if you want to use "glass" bullets, or something other than the standard "black dot".

I'll do that but the problem I'm having now is the spacing between the bullets

I have used numerous bullet code and nothing seems to make spaces between
them.

I need about 1'' to 1/2 space between text, what code will do this.

I have tried NVU & Composer and it looks fine when I'm looking at it
but when I view it in the browser it isn't the same.

Gary,

Well make use of the html space tag. Put the space code before every thing you want by the bullet. Best way to do it other than margins.

HTML Space Code.

 

Is there some code that I can use like the one down below that
will do this, instead of inserting   on every sentense.

Something like this, but will space the paragraphs.

<center>
<ul>
<li>item 1</li>
<li>item 2</li>
<li>item 3</li>
</ul>
</center>

Gary

I use frontpage and it has a prebuilt bullets, your program should have it too

It does but getting them to center is a problem, I'll just keep them to the
left.

Gary

use dreamweaver. I am a old school coder myself, but I heard its the best and its the industry standard.

I think I will, I know it's the best anyway and I'm tired of messing with this.

Gary,

and you can always use css to center it.

<div id="list">
<li>blank</li>
<li>blank</li>
<li>blank</li>
</div>

<styles type="text/css">
#list
{
text-align:center;
}
</styles>

That might be a tiny bit wrong. That was just off the top of my head.

Thanks I'll try it.

Gary
