how to hide <li> bullets in navigation menu and footer links BUT show them for listing items

The example bellow explains how to remove bullets using a css style class. You can use , similar to css class, by identifier (#id), by parent tag, etc. The same way you can use to define a css to remove bullets from the page footer.

I've used this site as a starting point.

<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
div.ui-menu li {
    list-style:none;
    background-image:none;
    background-repeat:none;
    background-position:0; 
}
ul
{
    list-style-type:none;
    padding:0px;
    margin:0px;
}
li
{
    background-image:url(sqpurple.gif);
    background-repeat:no-repeat;
    background-position:0px 5px; 
    padding-left:14px;
}
</style>
</head>

<body>

<div class="ui-menu">
<ul>
<li>Coffee</li>
<li>Tea</li>
<li>Coca Cola</li>
</ul>
</div>

<ul>
<li>Coffee</li>
<li>Tea</li>
<li>Coca Cola</li>
</ul>
</body>

</html>

You need to define a class for the bullets you want to hide. For examples

.no-bullets {
    list-style-type: none;
}

Then apply it to the list you want hidden bullets:

<ul class="no-bullets">

All other lists (without a specific class) will show the bulltets as usual.


You can style li elements differently based on their class, their id or their ancestor elements:

li { /* styles all li elements*/
    list-style-type: none;
}

#ParentListID li { /* styles the li elements that have an ancestor element
                      of id="ParentListID" */
    list-style-type: bullet;
}

li.className { /* styles li elements of class="className" */
    list-style-type: bullet;
}

Or, to use the ancestor elements:

#navigationContainerID li { /* specifically styles the li elements with an ancestor of
                               id="navigationContainerID" */
    list-style-type: none;
}

li { /* then styles all other li elements that don't have that ancestor element */
    list-style-type: bullet;
}
