[WD&D] Digest for sitedesign@googlegroups.com - 12 Messages in 3 Topics

    I am tearing my hair out over here. I want to suppress the bullets only on the sublevel of list items. What I want is:
     
    * First level List Item
    * First level List Item
    * First level List Item
    Second Level List Item
    Second Level List Item
    * First level List Item
     
    And so forth. The asterisks will really be a square.
     
    I have a specific class for the list and the sublist, ul.menu-communities and ul.submenu.
     
    Here is the pertinent HTML markup:
    <div class="menu-communities-container">
    <ul id="menu-communities" class="menu">
    <li id="menu-item-103" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-103"><a href="http://jdanielrealty.mytestbed.com/dana-point-real-estate/">Dana Point Real Estate</a>
    <ul class="sub-menu">
    <li id="menu-item-104" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-104"><a href="http://jdanielrealty.mytestbed.com/dana-point-real-estate/dana-point-points-of-interest/">Dana Point: Points of Interest</a></li>
    </ul>
    </li>
    <li id="menu-item-101" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-101"><a href="http://jdanielrealty.mytestbed.com/irvine-real-estate/">Irvine Real Estate</a>
    <ul class="sub-menu">
    <li id="menu-item-102" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-102"><a href="http://jdanielrealty.mytestbed.com/irvine-real-estate/irvine-points-of-interest/">Irvine: Points of Interest</a></li>
    <li id="menu-item-120" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-120"><a href="http://jdanielrealty.mytestbed.com/irvine-real-estate/irvine-spectrum/">Irvine: Spectrum</a></li>
    </ul>
    </li>
    </ul>
    </div>
     
    And here's the stylesheet code.
    ul.submenu li {
    inherit: none !important;
    list-style-type: none !important;
    margin-left: 35px !important;
    }
     
    I cannot get the darn second level bullets to go away no matter what I do. I've searched the stylesheet to see if there's something else interfering, and even put inherit: none !important in, to no avail.
     
    Here's the site, it's the "Communities" listing on the sidebar. You'll need a login and password to get into the site since it's on my dev server. Those are [userid/password] client/letmein ... all lower case.

    If you need the entire stylesheet or anything else, I can upload it to pastebin or something, just let me know.
     
    Thanks!

    Hello Joni,
    I skimmed your email but think this is what you want.
     
    On line 1182 of style.css
     
    change #sidebar li, #sidebar-alt li
     
    to:
     
    #sidebar li li, #sidebar-alt li
     
    and add in
     
    list-style-type: none
     
    to that class.
     
    That should fix it. It did on FF for me.

    Won't that mess up the other sidebar list styles? That's what I don't want to do. I wanted to specifically style just this class. But I'll try it. Thanks.

    The double li (li li)
     
    Will effect only the sublevel of list items. using li li is how you target
    them.
     
    Because there are no other sublevel items in the sidebar then this won't
    effect anything else. The top level will still have the square bullet
    points.
     
    To target the communities section only you will have to create another style
    using the menu-communities-container class, something like (but untested by
    me):
     
    .menu-communities-container li li {
    list-style-type: none;
    }
     
    Hope you this helps.

    Well, there are a number of ways you can approach this problem.
    First, why would a "web guy" own their clients domain?
    I always make sure that the client has control over the domain, and
    tell them where to go in case of problems with it.
    I don't know where you are located, but if your client has the legal
    right to the domnain, you could always petition to get control of it,
    try and contact the registrar and see what info they require in that
    case.
     
    Otherwise you would have to wait for 1-2 months after the domain is
    expired to get control of it, and maybe even loose it to someone else.
    There are services available from various registrars, GoDaddy for
    example, who can watch these domains for you and register them as soon
    as they become available.
    But I would contact the registrar and try my case for control of the
    domain instead.
     
    As for SEO, it's not much you can do. You can set your keywords and
    optimize your website for better results, but the old adress is going
    to show up as long as it has a corresponding website. And I don't
    think Google likes that you put other domain-names in the keywords,
    other than the one you are using for indexing. You could try of
    course :)
     
    But as I said, I would rather try to get control over the old domain
    and point it to the new one.

    thanks so much for the knowledge, guys.
     
    it's a case where the business owner is a 70-something non-techy, so
    i'll dig deeper to make sure of the ownership, but WHOIS identifies
    the web guy as the domain owner. the funny thing, after i contacted
    dotster.com, the guy there told me while WHOIS shows the domain to
    expire next august, it really expired this PAST august (so much for
    free information), and it's in that "expiration period". i read
    somewhere this a 75-90 day limbo before the domain is free to be
    bought by whoever. it's one of those really specific domains, so i'm
    not worried about someone snatching it up.
     
    so much to learn, so little time :).

    Go to godaddy.com and pay to have them snag it for ya.
     

     

    Artist <sitepro@gmail.com> Oct 13 06:09PM -0500 ^
     
    This is a common ploy among shady web designers. Because it is in
    redemption period, it may be a little tougher, but as the business was using
    the domain for their business image, it should be easy for godaddy to
    straighten out. But it will take some time. I recommend setting up a free
    account at domainhostmaster.com (my godaddy reseller account) and then call
    up support, ask for the domain name concierge service. They all an and will
    straighten this out, but if you aren't quick you will have to pay a premium
    of $80.00.
     
    Another option is, and if it already is in redemption period, if it isn't a
    generic keyword name or a nationally popular brand, try to set up a free
    backorder service for it. That way you have a functional chance to grab it
    right away once it is officially deleted.
     
    You may try both.
     
    If some one else gets it they might sell it at a much higher rate... from
    hundreds to thousands or even millions depending on the value of the name
    and the extension of the domain.
     
    People grab these names as they delete off the list. Then they get
    auctioned off at pool.com or snapnames or some similar service. So also be
    careful who you mention the domain name to.

    Artist <sitepro@gmail.com> Oct 13 06:20PM -0500 ^
     
    Note:
    Snapnames and pool usually grab the names that people have expressed
    interest in bidding on at auction. That's usually how they get grabbed.
    Not telling anyone and trying to nab it may work too, but only if no one
    else wants it or doesn't want to profit from it or hold it for ransom. And
    there are now businesses built on that.
     
    That said, domaining isn't a about that, usually. Every day over 20,000
    names expire. All domains that expire show on a number of delete lists, and
    these deletion lists are often researched by a variety of domainers with a
    variety of angles.
