Center Text inside an li element inside an unordered list?

While you're assigning unequal padding values to the left and right of the li ( 0.75em and 2em respectively) the text can't be centred since you're forcing it off-centre with the padding If you amend the padding to: padding: 0.5em 1em ( 0.5em top and bottom 1em left and right) then it can be centred JS Fiddle demo of the above.

David : Thank you so much - I just spotted that! And I was trying to delete my question! Heh thank you again!

God that seams so obvious! – Rob Feb 28 at 21:45 @Rob: please don't delete questions that merited being asked in the first place. Especially questions that have attracted answers.

And, also, you're welcome; glad to have been of help. :) – David Thomas Feb 28 at 21:46.

If you want various sizes, then change the right or left padding property to be the same as the other one: padding: 0.5em 2em 0.5em 2em; or padding: 0.5em 0.75em 0.5em 0.75em; I've fiddled around with it a little: jsfiddle.net/Q32hn/ Don't forget to always close your ListItems.

BTW, I also removed the div and moved its styling to the UL – isotrope Feb 28 at 21:46 ah thanks also! Now closing the list items :D – Rob Feb 28 at 21:50.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
