Reduce bullet size in a list

When you need to reduce the size of bullet in a list like below, In the above pic, notice that the Sublist items have smaller bullets when compared to main list.  - Create a nested list. If you need help in creating, please refer to  How to create nested list?  - For sub list, give style list-style: none;  - So you will get the below output after removing the list style - Now we have to add bullets which are in smaller size than the default one, - We are going to use pseudo element.  - <li> should be relatively positioned and then pseudo element can be absolutely positioned in relative to the list item. - So for the li element give position as relative , - Now we have to use the " before " pseudo element.  Thus the expected result is achieved. We can change the size of bullet further by changing font-size, top, left attributes. Size of the bullets are increased.

Styles not reflecting

I tried all the combinations of selector, restarted the server, refreshed page like 100 times but styles didn’t reflect. I checked the css file in sources tab, styles are available there, but is not rendered in Styles tab. Finally I found the issue. It was because of an unwanted { before the style which was not reflecting  in css file. My husband was happy when I found the issue. He praised me again:P Little he knew that I should have checked...

Setting Opacity for border

When you want to give opacity for border alone usually we try the following css, .reduce-border-opacity{       width: 150px;     height: 150px;     border: 5px solid black;     opacity: 0.5;     background-color: grey; } The above css will reduce the opacity of the element with class  “reduce-border-opacity” as shown below, So to reduce the opacity of border alone, give the following css           .reduce-border-opacity{            width: 150px;                     height: 150px;                    border: 5px solid  rgba(0,0,0,0.5);                     background-color: grey;       } Give your opacity as the last property in rgb...
