list flush left

How do I get my list items to be flush left?

I've got

list-style-type: none;

to get rid of the bullets, but I can't pull the list over to the left.
There's still a gap for the invisible bullets.

here's the pertinent part:
ul li {list-style-type: none; padding-left: 0px;
margin-left: 0px;
}

has no effect.

Try removing "px" from your value. I believe that when specifying a zero
value, the unit of measure is not required.

ul li {
list-style-type: none;
padding-left: 0;
margin-left: 0;
}

That's how I do it to make it flush to the left.

Why don't you try posting the URL so that we could see both the markup
and the style sheet as a whole? And why wouldn't you post in the Usenet
style, for constructive discussion? (See
http://www.xs4all.nl/%7ewijnands/nnq/nquote.html )

Based on the mixed pieces of information given, it seems probable that
you have not taken into account the fact that a list (ul or ol element)
may have a margin or a padding. You have just tried to set the left
margin and left padding of each list item to zero. (By the way, 0px or
0pt or 0mm or 0em is equivalent to 0. There's no reason to use a unit
for zero, but neither is there a reason to attack potential problems my
making irrelevant changes.)

So you might just lack
ul { margin-left: 0; padding-left: 0; }

Thanks, everyone.

In my previous post I listed this code:

ul li {list-style-type: none; padding-left: 0;
margin-left: 0;
}

That moved each LI but not the whol UL

So I changed it to

ul {list-style-type: none; padding-left: 0;
margin-left: 0;
}

And that did it.

I have this list of checkboxes displaying properly in Opera and IE, but cannot get it in Firefox. For some reason, in FF, the checkboxes creep farther and farther to the right across the page, with each successive line: This is item one This is item two This is item three This is item four I would be grateful for some pointers on what's causing it and what I can do

System.IO.StreamWriter Close or Flush method to shut down the computer in such a way that just part of the file is written? or an empty file is written? Also if the Close or Flush is to a streamwriter writing to a network share, is it possible for the network to go down in such a way that the tartet file is only partialy written? or are there some kind of check sums to prevent this.
