Setting margin for overflow text in list of categories.

  • When a category name is too long at the sidebar, it will overflow and runs onto the next line. What annoys me is that more often than not, the next line is not aligned with the starting element of the list of categories. It will start from a little backward making it looked untidy.

    I have tried to google it but i am not quite sure which function is exactly controlling that.

    Does anyone know?

    Thanks in advance!

  • That’s probably CSS related… if you could post a link to your site, so we can have a look?

    If you look at the list of titles, those overflow text runs beyond those white dots. I am just hoping to align it with the original position of the titles. Not sure which function is exactly controlling that. Thanks!

    looking at that in FF, this is not true:

    is that more often than not, the next line is not aligned with the starting element of the list of categories. It will start from a little backward making it looked untidy.

    Those bullets are right on top of one another. You are just expecting long text to fit into a very small space.

    I’m not exactly sure what problem is it, but it showed up ok on the firefox. In IE and Opera it doesn’t…weird shit.

    In IE

    I disagree there also. In IE 6 the bullets are lined up just fine. In fact, what you see in IE 6 that you do not see in FF is the native wordwrap that ie has. Thats one place where IE excels over FF is wordwrapping.

    Its evidenced by the fact that in IE6 there isnt overflow, the long lines just spill onto the next line.

    That is even weirder than. I’m using IE 7 and it doesn’t align it like firefox does.
