html - Center an inline list in div example not working -


i creating liquid layout example shown below using exact html example shown in book html , css jon duckett-

* {    font-family: arial, verdana, sans-serif;    color: #665544;    text-align: center;  }    body {    width: 90%;    margin: 0 auto;    min-width: 400px;  }    #content {    overflow: auto;  }    #nav,  #feature,  #footer {    margin: 1%;  }    .column1,  .column2,  .column3 {    width: 31.3%;    float: left;    margin: 1%;  }    .column3 {    margin-right: 0%;    /* no effect anyway float left */  }    li {    display: inline;    padding: 0.5em;  }    #nav,  #footer {    background-color: #efefef;    padding: 0.5em 0;  }    #feature,  .article {    height: 10em;    margin-bottom: 1em;    background-color: #efefef;  }
<!doctype html>  <html>    <head>    <title>liquid layout</title>  </head>    <body>    <div id="header">      <h1>logo</h1>      <div id="nav">        <ul>          <li id="home"><a href="">home</a></li>          <li><a href="">products</a></li>          <li><a href="">services</a></li>          <li><a href="">about</a></li>          <li id="contact"><a href="">contact</a></li>        </ul>      </div>    </div>    <div id="content">      <div id="feature">        <p>feature</p>      </div>      <div class="article column1">        <p>column one</p>      </div>      <div class="article column2">        <p>column two</p>      </div>      <div class="article column3">        <p>column three</p>      </div>    </div>    <div id="footer">      <p>&copy; copyright 2011</p>    </div>  </body>    </html>

when viewed in full screen, ul list isn't in centre of div. thought, centre div, should 2 things

  1. define width less container.
  2. set margin 0 auto

so, set ul element width 70% , margin 0 auto. result in snippet below produces strange result. 

		* {  			font-family: arial, verdana, sans-serif;  			color: #665544;  			text-align: center;  		}  		  		body {  			width: 90%;  			margin: 0 auto;  			min-width: 400px;  		}  		  		#content {  			overflow: auto;  		}  		#nav, #feature, #footer {  			margin: 1%;  		}  		.column1, .column2, .column3 {  			width: 31.3%;  			float: left;  			margin: 1%;  		}  		.column3 {  			margin-right: 0%;  			/* no effect anyway float left */  		}  		ul {  			width: 70%;  			margin: auto;  		}  		li {  			display: inline;  			padding: 0.5em;  		}  		#nav, #footer {  			background-color: #efefef;  			padding: 0.5em 0;  		}  		#feature, .article {  			height: 10em;  			margin-bottom: 1em;  			background-color: #efefef;  		}
<!doctype html>  <html>  <head>  	<title>liquid layout</title>  </head>  <body>  	<div id="header">  		<h1>logo</h1>  		<div id="nav">  			<ul>  				<li id="home"><a href="">home</a></li>  				<li><a href="">products</a></li>  				<li><a href="">services</a></li>  				<li><a href="">about</a></li>  				<li id="contact"><a href="">contact</a></li>  			</ul>  		</div>  	</div>  	<div id="content">  		<div id="feature">  			<p>feature</p>  		</div>  		<div class="article column1">  			<p>column one</p>  		</div>  		<div class="article column2">  			<p>column two</p>  		</div>  		<div class="article column3">  			<p>column three</p>  		</div>  	</div>  	<div id="footer">  		<p>&copy; copyright 2011</p>  	</div>  </body>  </html>

all of padding lost, , list still not centered. doing wrong?

you need add padding-left:0px; ul. style default web automatically provides -- add padding ul elements.

here's screenshot computer. chrome browser gives ul's default styling below.

android - InAppBilling registering BroadcastReceiver in AndroidManifest -

i'm implementing inapp billing in android app. works well, however, i'm trying decouple broadcast receiver activity manifest. suggestion in android's trivialdrive sample: // important: dynamically register broadcast messages updated purchases. // register receiver here instead of <receiver> in manifest // because call getpurchases() @ startup, therefore can ignore // broadcasts sent while app isn't running. // note: registering listener in activity bad idea, done here // because sample. regardless, receiver must registered after // iabhelper setup, before first call getpurchases(). currently there's class extends broadcastreceiver : public class iabbroadcastreceiver extends broadcastreceiver { /** * intent action receiver should filter for. */ public static final string action = "com.android.vending.billing.purchases_updated"; private final iabbroadcastlistener mlistener; public iabbroadcastreceiver(iabbroadcastlistener listener) { m...
