I believe this is caused by <li> and </li> but how do I get rid of them?



Take a look at http://166.82.95.120/



See the bullets down the side, How can I remove them?



Thanks


Christopher

First,... <LI> dosn't need to be closed, just as <BR> doesn't. <LI> is a List Item and ends when the next <LI> comes. Open and close the list <UL></UL>. Is this what you mean?

I see the bullets.

try:
<UL type="circle">
<UL type="disc">
etc....
Not sure if there's a "null" or "none", "void".... The little bullet is aparently the default.

Perhaps you can do this with <BR> between items in the list and skip the <UL></UL> altogether, you're not numbering anything, so why the list?.

Cool site with videos...

Really nice site, BTW. I'm 50+ hours into mine... learning curve, man.

I changed your style sheet and it removed the bullets to the left of the column.

/* Category Menu */
.catmenu { margin: 0 0 0px 0; padding: 0 0px 10px 0; background-color: #FFBD20; position: relative; font-size: 12px;}
.catmenu h4 {<!--visibility : hidden-->;}
.catmenu h4 { background: #FF2020 url(../images/H4BG.gif) no-repeat 3px 50%; padding: 10px 0px 5px 28px; font-size: 140%; color: #FFF ;text-indent: -2000px;}
.catmenu label { font-size: 100%; color: #fff;}
.catmenu ul, .catmenu ol { margin: 0px; padding: 0px; }
.catmenu li { list-style:none; margin: 05px; padding: 0px; }
.blockcontent { padding: 0px; }
#homepagecolumn2 .blockcontent { padding: 0;}
#homepagecolumn2 .catmenu { background: none; }

The change was made to the .catmenu li { list-style:none; margin: 05px; padding: 0px; } (line 8 in the list above) where I added list-style:none; .

This works in Firefox, not sure it works in all browsers. I recommend you make the change and check it on all the popular browsers.

Chris,

all you need to do is add this to the stylesheet:
.catmenu ul li{list-style-type:none;}

BV themes are created in XHTML, which isn't as forgiving with depreciated/old coding practices as HTML is, so it's important to stick with valid code:

    * LI tags should always be closed, and so should BR tags. For example: <li>...</li> and <br />
    * Don't use proprietary attributes inside tags. Bullet type is better off done in CSS in your stylesheet, especially since the type attribute has been depreciated and doesn't even exist in XHTML 1.1.
    * It's never a good idea to use the BR tag to make presentational adjustments, especially in a list, because it creates needless weight in the page and cannot be easily adjusted site-wide. Use CSS padding/margin for such.
    * UL (unordered list) uses bullets, OL (ordered list) uses numbering characters. Since navigation is often a list of links, it's a good idea to use UL and style as needed (which includes the ability to make the list inline, remove the bullets, etc.). It makes more sense when viewing the page without styles, on a mobile device, and to the search engines.
