What is this random extra space between these two elements(<li>)?
I have this problem. I searched the site and others were having similar problems, but none of the answers seemed to work. Those included setting line-height to 0px; and setting all margins/paddings to 0px. I use Google Chrome's Inspect Element material to check the margins/paddings. I hovered over my "a" element and "li" element to see if they had any unnecessary paddings or margins, but they didn't.
What was weird is that they had a little white space, not occupied by any element in the entire document, between each link.
Right now, as there are no borders between the text, it is unrecognizable, but the space around the "a" in Link4 is smaller than the space around the text in Link1. The width of the first "li" element is strangely 4px wider than the 4th "li" container, and there is a little white space. I want to get rid of the white space, any ideas?
Here is the code:
CSS:
html {
overflow-y: scroll;
}
body {
background-color: #ffdeff;
overflow: hidden;
}
#wrapper {
width: 1000px;
height: 0px;
overflow: hidden;
margin: auto;
background-color: white;
border-left: 1px solid rgb(210, 210, 210);
}
#header {
width: 1000px;
height: 0px;
overflow: hidden;
margin: auto;
}
#header-toolbar {
width: 1000px;
list-style-type: none;
border-radius: 3px;
position: absolute;
}
#nav-position {
position: absolute;
float: left;
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
}
.nav-link-container {
background-color: #FF66CC;
display: inline;
padding: 0px;
text-align: center;
}
.nav-link {
padding: 0px;
margin-top: 5px;
margin-bottom: 5px;
text-align: center;
line-height: 0px;
display: table;
display: inline;
margin: 0 auto;
}
HTML document:
<body>
<script src="jquery-1.9.1.js"></script>
<script>
</script>
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="header">
<div id="header-toolbar">
<ul id="nav-position">
<li class="nav-link-container">
<a class="nav-link">Link1</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-link-container">
<a class="nav-link">Link2</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-link-container">
<a class="nav-link">Link3</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-link-container">
<a class="nav-link">Link4</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
<div id="main"></div>
<div id="footer"></div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Anything helps! Thank you very much!
there are some spaces when you put <li> to new line. so one solution is to add them all in same line like here: http://jsfiddle.net/6tzxj/1/
