how do you control <ul> indent?

[bungle]

Hello, we're going to be listing links using the <ul><li> tags, however the default indentation is a bit much for our design - how can we decrease indent with css?

[drbrain]

The easiest way is to adjust the left margin of the list-item:

li { margin-left: -1em }

so a negtive (-) value is OK to use in css?

Thanks!

defanjos link is a good one. Lists tend to come with default margin and/or padding. I usually get a handle on it by setting both to 0, and then positioning with my own margin or padding.

Negative values are allowed in most places, but not in others.

padding and borders, for example, do not allow negative values.
