It’s been my primary project, and the focus of our entire department since the day I started at Notre Dame. I give thee the new ND.edu.

Ok, so let’s say you’re doing image replacement on an unordered list. Since we’re all good boys and girls here, we include the actual text inside the link tag and spin it off the left of the screen with text-indent. Well if you’re a Firefox user (or test with it), then you may recall seeing the border generated around the navigation and going off the left of the screen (see below).

It’s one of those things that I never really thought much about. But last week a co-worker of mine showed me a really simple way of getting rid of those lines. Enter “overflow: hidden”.

For those of you using Firefox, I have two examples below. The first is without the overflow attribute, the second is with.

Without overflow:hidden

• First Item
• Second Item
• Third Item

With overflow:hidden

• First Item
• Second Item
• Third Item

Special thanks to Chaz for the tip.
