Hi all,  
I am trying to make a “dummy” for a website using css and without tables.  
I am using the ul and li tags to make a list of links that should have a definite size and border and not only text. But I can’t seem to get rid of the “indent” (I think it’s called) of the list items. I can of course remove any bullet or other item but the box with the text is still placed as if there was a bullet and it places the list way off to the right.  
Is there a way to remove this?

set the right margin (or all the margins if you want) to 0px.

Gee, that was quick! I’ll check again but I think I have done it…

Yeah, I have set the li tag margins to 0. Not the ul tag though I haven’t defined that one (yet).

THANKS that did it! Still having the annoying problem with the text not centering vertically though…
