li tags not rendering properly in IE

  • i’ve noticed that in ie, if you do your tags like this:

    < li >something</ li >
    < li >something</ li >
    < li >something</ li >
    < li >something</ li >

    instead of like this:
    < li >something</ li >< li >something</ li >< li >something</ li >< li >something</ li >< li >something</ li >< li >something</ li >< li >something</ li >< li >something</ li >< li >something</ li >

    that it tends to make a bit ol’ huge space under each li.
    this is messing up my layout! it looks great in firefox, but ie looks retarded.

    where can i change how archive lists are rendered?

    here’s the blog i’m working on…

  • I have tested it and I do not believe it is true. I tested it on IE 5.2 mac, and IE 6.0 running Windows XP. What platform and version are you running when you experience this?

    you can see the problem down towards the bottom

    I see your problem but I do not think that it has to do with the whitespace in your code. I saved a simple html file with two unordered lists. One with lots of whitespace, the other without any. When viewing the file in IE, both lists were identical. Are you sure it isn’t a style issue? Are the styles being inhereted? Do you have any broad declarations on<ul> or <li> Did you take away default margin and padding?
    Those were the ideas I came up with. I will take another look at your file.
