CSS problem - no borders showing

R

richard

All I want to do is put a border around a ul li istem and it ain't
happening. I tried what I want to do using the w3 schools examples and it
works there just fine.

what am I missing?



ul {margin:0; padding:0;}
ul li {list-style-type:none; display:inline-block;}

#holder {width:1200px;}
.wrap {margin-bottom:20px; display:block;}
.box1 {width:1200px; height:100px; background-color:#cfc;}
.box2 (width:1200px; height:600px; overflow:auto;}

.aa {width:1in; height:1in; border:solid 1px black;}




<body>
<div id="holder">
<div class="wrap">
<div class="box1">
<h3>1960</h3>
<ul>
<li class="aa">Rank</li><li class="aa">Song ID</li>

</ul>

</div>

<div class="box2">hello
</div>

</body>

thanks. that's the one thing I don't like about notepad++
{ and( are not easy to tell apart.

Now how do I get the items to display at the bottom of the division?
Right now they show about 25 pixels above the bottom border,

You mean like Danny DeVito and Arnold Schwarzenegger in Twins?

See what happens to your markup when a user changes his or her
preferred text size for reading. Consider again the advisability of
using in's along with px's elsewhere, (don't try miles on this
occasion).

Consider classing the UL rather than repeated classing of LIs, then
get what you want in the CSS by .class li {...}

Notepad++ change the font-size much like most browsers do. Ctrl +
mouse scroll or Ctrl + [+-]

No ideal of what you are referring to.
