Bullet image isn't aligning vertically with associated text

Post by ktbCA57 »

I am using an image instead of a regular bullet in my bullet list. In addition, each bullet item is a toggler with text below it. I can't find any setting to allow me to adjust the vertical alignment of the bullet image with the text. see attached output example...What setting do I need to change or what can I do to get these to align.

Never heard of a solution other than this: Add empty space at the top of the image - INSIDE the image file. That pushes down the arrow.

It doesn't work? :o
Then it's the use for togglers that changes that behaviour, since it works for bullet icons.

You should have a look at the margin-top and padding-top settings of the hotspot. - Set them to 0.
And don't forget the pseudo classes of the hotspot.

Hi again...

Good suggestion.. however, I don't see a "Hotspot" setting for Togglers the way I do for dropdown text... and EVERYTHING in my toggler style is set to zero.. or rather set to "not set"...

very frustrating, this!

Thanks for trying tho!

I just looked: The hotspot is a normal link, means an "a" tag with a toggler class. You should find it and its pseudo classes in the sublevel of the "a" tag.
Here the example of a dropdown hotspot:

ok... weird... i thought what you said made sense.. except that I see ALL my toggler classes there except this specific one i'm working on! how weird is that? I'm going to try creating it in a new project and see what happens.. I AM SURE I've screwed this up somehow.. but the tough part is figuring out how..

THANKS! WILL LET YOU KNOW!
