Courses Plus Student 1,557 PointsAdd the part from my example to your style.
.main-nav li {
float: left;
list-style: none; /* This will remove the bullets */
}

Victor Rodriguez
15,015 Pointsthe dots are not because of the float. They are because of the ul list. in your css you need to add something along the lines of:
ul {
list-style-type: none;
}

5,397 Pointshi, victor i have using a normalize.css file. then why should i use list-style-type:none Thanks for reply.
Jason Anello
Courses Plus Student 94,610 PointsIt depends on what version of normalize you're using.
The older 1.x version only removes bullet points from lists within a <nav> element. So if you had your navigation in a nav element and were using the older version then it would remove the bullets.
The newest version 3.x doesn't remove bullet points at all and so you would need to use css similar to what Niek or Victor has posted.
