gap on the left even with 0 margin and padding

[web_roshan]

Can anyone tell me why there is a big gap on the LEFT in the left navigation menu and the div containing the menu on this page

I have set my CSS code

.menu ul{
margin:0;
padding:0
}

Try getting rid of "ul"


.menu {
margin:0;
padding:0
}

sae, thanks a lot for the help.
It worked.
Ideally, a ul's li would generally be indented from left, at a distance. Therefore, the class's ul should have been to the extreme left.
Can you give me some pointers or references that actually would explain me how this code worked and not the former.

Because your selector applied to all <ul> elements inside an element belonging to the "menu" class. What you want is just any element belonging to the "menu" class or all <ul> elements belonging to the "menu" class, which would be this:
ul.menu {
margin:0;
padding:0;
}

Ok. Now I get it.
