    Style sheet problem.

    I have an html <dl> list, where each list item is a second <dl>. What I want is for the outer <dl> to use a .gif as it's list-style-image, and the inner to have list-style: none. So I set up two different class identifiers in my .css file and applied them to the lists, however, the inner <dl> is also displaying the .gif. I assume the outer <dl> is cascading onto the inner, despite specifically being assigned to a different class.

    Is there a way round this?

    Here's a sample using LI tags, controlling the type of bullet markers used. I guess DL tags have a similar control(?)

    Code:
    <html>
    <head>
    <title>Blah</title>
    <style type="text/css">
    ul.square  { list-style-type:square; }
    ul.decimal { list-style-type:decimal;}
    ul.none    { list-style-type:none;   }
    </style>
    </head>
    <body>
    <ul class=square>
      <li>Item one</li>
        <ul class=decimal>
          <li>Sub Item</li>
          <li>Sub Item</li>
        </ul>
      <li>Item two</li>
        <ul class=none>
          <li>Sub Item</li>
          <li>Sub Item</li>
        </ul>
    </ul>
    </body>
    </html>
    If this doesn't help, post some of your HTML and CSS.
    When all else fails, read the instructions.
    If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]
