How to put space between <li>

I gave background-color:#fff; for <li> tags. Instead of having one big blob of white I just want little gap between (vertical) <li>. margin-bottom:10px is not working.

Instead of margin-bottom, try padding-bottom!

Margin-bottom and padding-bottom both don't work for me.

Curtis you were right margin-bottom will make the gap. But when I do it on the specific css file for some reason it doesn't work...

  • { box-sizing:border-box;

}

body { background-color:#293859; color:#fff;

}

ul { list-style-type:none; padding:0; margin:0; }

h1 { margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0; }

/Class Selector/

.main-header { text-align:center;

background-color:salmon;

}

.name, .main-nav li { margin-bottom:10px; padding:10px; }

.main-nav a { font-size:19px;

}

.name a, .main-nav a { color:#fff; padding:10px; display:block; }
