How To Create Horizontal List Without Bullets

Leave a reply
          Horizontal lists are mainly used for creating tabs in menu bar. Creating tabs in your website provides easy navigation for the visitors. To create tabs, you need to create list with links horizontally and with no bullets.

          First, we need to create a list with necessary links, Then we need to overwrite the ul and li tags as shown below.
ul {
  list-style-type: none;
}

ul li {
  display: inline;
}

          The attribute “list-style-type: none” makes the list with no bullets, and “display: inline” makes the list appear horizontally.

How To Center A Webpage

Leave a reply

     A webpage aligned to center attracts the users more, than the other alignments. To align a webpage center you can use some java script which adjust’s the webpage according to the screen size or you can follow a simple way to get aligned to center. Here i am going to discuss about the simple way using css technique. Let us assume that a div with id “globalcontainer” is the whole container. Use the below css.
#globalcontainer {
     width: 1000px;
     margin: 0 auto;
}

     By using the above css, the width of the container is set to 1000px, and the right-margin is set to “auto”, which aligns the page to center automaticaly.

Note: This technique may not work in internet explorer, if you don’t mention the doctype and meta content type. So, make sure that doctype and content-type is declared. Here is an example:
