Unordered Lists Problem

[peteyb]

Hey all,

when using the list function the first line of the list always starts two lines down from the writing before, instead of being underneath. i.e.
<table>
<tr>
<td>Hello there friends, look at the list below:
<ul>
<li>line one</li>
<li>line 2<li>
</ul>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

Hello there friends, look at the list below:

line one
line 2
line three

Is it possible to move up the first line or atleast reduce the space - is it a css jobey

Yes. Learn the power of CSS.

thanks. just to confirm tho, i am not getting spaces between the bullet points as in the posted thread but the line after "Hello there friends, look at the list below:"

You're welcome :)

I know. You meant the top margin on the list.

I just gave you three groups of links from my link archive. The one about IE's white space bug is simply part of one of the three.
