CSS Design: Taming Lists
181 Reader CommentsBack to the Article
I read the article and it the cogs spinning, the pipe example especially since I use similar formatting for most of my menus in web apps I build for my clients. The pipe example works great for 90% of those menus, but there are a few I need to have the menu be the width of the page and not wrap if the user resizes the window. Additionally I am creating this list on the fly from a db and so I cannot put a width static width in the li. I currently have to use a table with the width=100% using nowrap in the cells to achive this. Has anyone else done this? Or is this just not currently possible?
Normandale Community College ( http://www.normandale.edu ) just put the horizontal li nav into practice as part of a XHTML/CSS redesign. IE5 Mac and Opera begged to be excused, but everything else is happy.
One more thing: Eric Meyer's recent redesign reminded me of the wisdom of putting one's lengthy navigation after one's content … thus the site's nav menu gets included at the end of the XHTML, but is visually positioned at the top.
Beautifully simple trickery, this.
Great thanks, this is what I was looking for :)
Does any know how to create a sub list in a different style that works for both IE and NS/Mozilla
I've manage fine with IE.
Example #menu li li a:
Any ideas
I've done it… simply missed a ; off a line and now that it is corrected its working like a treat
Being relatively new to this approach with CSS a few things confuse me. First of all, what the heck are the shortcuts for the hex colors? I can figure out #000 and #fff, but where do you find all the rules pertaining this formula for specifying hex color values?
Secondly, I'm so used to measuring everything in pixels, I cannot relate to the em unit of measure. How can you possibly, get things lined up accurately using that unit of measure?
What's the difference between margins and padding? Is that like the difference between cellspacing and cellpadding?
In the #button style, the padding is specified as such:
padding: 0 0 1em 0;
I'm assuming those are left, right, top, bottom?
I'd appreciate any feedback. This stuff is really great!
I'm designing a new site and intrested in using CSS for the menus and very intrested while reading the article. Once thing I noticed thats not covered are sub menus.
In my case I want to have vertical menus that when hovered over, open a sub menu to the right. Is this possible ?
Well I've come to all this late and am on a steep learning curve.
I'm trying to tame a nested list for use as a menu. Basically I don't want any indent, I do want each menu item in a box, and I do want to be able to control the background and font colours, according to the level.
Taming the automatic indenting and 'leading' seems to be a real challenge, and there seem to be all sorts of variations between Mozilla and IE6. Has anyone done this and have an example. I can get what I want with <h?> tags for the top level items and <ul> for the second level. but I want to be able to scale to three or four levels.
– Mozilla 1.2.1 on Win XP: Renders only every second horizontal line, as mentioned above -> http://tippetevling.net/ala/realworld.png
- IE6 Service Pack 1 on Win XP: Menu jumps to the left when entered with the mouse for the first time, as mentioned above.
Seems as both bugs are fixed / there are workarounds in this thread.
I'm busy boning up on CSS and your site is a revelation. I just took this page on Taming Lists and the menu you prepared in that page is great. By coincidence the colour scheme and so on were already perfect.
I will now be working on enhancing my own site to your standards.
Great article! It's hard to find really good CSS tutorials on the internet that go beyond the basics, yet still consider real-world browser compatibility issues. Anyway, this article really has me thinking a bit different now about some of my HTML/CSS structures.
I really liked the article you have put out. I am having problems with my menu though. When I make this menu, in IE there is big space on the left hand side of the menu. In NS this doesn't happen. How did you fix this problem on your pages, they look fine?
I tried to move the menu to the left with the CSS "margin-left: -16" but this would cause it to be hidden partially in NS. Any suggestions?
Where can I find the thread of my question?

Try ditching the li / ul list-style image in place of attaching a background image using no repeat :
background-image: url(../bullet.gif);
background-position: left;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
remember to turn off the li display – use outside and voila you get to control the distance between bullet and the start of list contents.
I have placed the following code in my CSS:
background-image: url(../bullet.gif);
background-position: left;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
I still have the same problem.
I am not so familiar with the CSS to understand what you mean by ditching the ul/li and how do I "turn off the li display"?
Could you please explain more in detail?
Here is what I have in my CSS pertaining to the menu:
#leftnav {
width: 10em;
border-right: 1px solid #000;
padding: 0 0 0em 0;
margin-bottom: 0em;
font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', 'Lucida Grande',
Verdana, Lucida, Geneva, Helvetica,
Arial, sans-serif;
background-color: #0e3061;
color: #333;
#leftnav ul {
margin: 0; /*removes indent IE and Opera*/
padding: 0; /*removes indent Mozilla and NN7*/
list-style-type: none; /*turns off display of bullet*/
background-image: url(../bullet.gif);
background-position: left;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
border: none;
font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', 'Lucida Grande',
Verdana, Lucida, Geneva, Helvetica,
Arial, sans-serif;
font-size: 10px;
#leftnav li {
border-bottom: 1px solid #4A6D9B;
margin-left: 0;
#leftnav li a {
display: block;
padding: 5px 5px 5px 0.5em;
border-left: 10px solid #21497e;
border-right: 2px solid #21497e;
background-color: #0e3061;
background-image: url(../Graphics/LeftBtn_Blank.gif); /* */
background-position: 0px 0px;
color: #fff;
text-decoration: none;
width: 100%;
html>body #leftnav li a {
width: auto;
#leftnav li a:hover {
border-left: 10px solid #0e3061;
border-right: 2px solid #0e3061;
background-color: #21497e;
color: #fff;
#currentlink a:link, #currentlink a:visited, #currentlink a:hover {
border-left: 10px solid #0e3061;
border-right: 2px solid #0e3061;
background-color: #21497e;
color: #fff;
I've created a navigation menu based on the examples found in this article, but unlike the example I wanted to leave the list style to include the bullet. Unfortunately, IE6 is placing the bullet on the second line of any links that wrap to the next line. This is due to the display:block; width: 100% bug fix for IE.
Anyone else experiening this or know a fix?
i am trying very hard to understand everything about CSS styling… and it is kind of tricky because there is way too many HACKS to consider..
however zeldman + friends or friends + zeldman are right… let's follow webstandards and hopefully it will be better on the web.
oh.. i forgot… my question…
y'see i am trying to make a menu (a <Li> menu) and i would like to have a background-image inside the <Li> that will swop when you mouse-over it… but i cannot make this happen.. i tried the menu recipe over at Project VII but that is not a listmenu.. is there a way to do this or is it impossible?
Has anyone solved the problem of using style classes to create multiple nested lists having DIFFERENT list-style-types within one doc? Example:
followed in the same doc by:
That is, I want to have 2 different nested-list classes, used interchangeably in a single doc.
Awesome work on this article. It was a great help to me.
The followiung CSS definitions will allow 2 different nested list styles in one doc. Just put the list inside a DIV or SPAN with the desired class. No need to re-specify the class on each OL tag in the doc, just in the STYLE definition.
.num OL {list-style-type: decimal; }
.num OL OL {list-style-type: lower-alpha; }
.num OL OL OL {list-style-type: lower-roman; }
.roman OL {list-style-type: upper-roman; }
.roman OL OL {list-style-type: upper-alpha; }
.roman OL OL OL {list-style-type: decimal; }
.roman OL OL OL OL {list-style-type: lower-alpha; }
.roman OL OL OL OL OL {list-style-type: lower-roman; }
hey – i'm having slight problems with the horizontal list trick – i made one with the pipe thing as a navigation bar, and it all looks fine, but the problem I have is that I want it to wrap correctly. The way i did it was to use "a { white-space: nowrap; }" so that the links stayed together, but i am getting different behaviour between ie6 and moz1.4…
take a look here: http://www.dannypoo.co.uk/herbawohl/inline.htm
my problem is with the vertical lines, where if you shrink the navigation bar so that it wraps (something which will no doubt happen often as it's quite wide).
as you will see if you use mozilla, everything works as it should, with the horizontal line retaining its padding from the text as it wraps to the next line. problem with IE is that it seems to include the end of the previous line in with the padding for the wrapped list element.
can someone help, cos this is driving me crazy!!!
I've got a ul that I'm using for my left nav. Instead of using text, I'm using images as the nav elements. Within the li elements, IE6 keeps adding 4px space between the images. It works fine in other browsers and on a Mac. Anyone else seen this? Is there a fix? I tried copying and pasting the styles directly from the great article and thing were fine. Then I added an img and IE6 added the 4px space below it. Any suggestions?
Hi, does anyone read this far?
Anyway, I notice with my custom bullets that on IE6/Win sometimes the bullets don't get rendered. I've tried this with custom bullets (12×12 gifs), and I've also redone it all using the same gifs but as background images instead.
Either way seems to produce the problem.
Is this a known IE bug, or is it my code perhaps? It's pretty intermittent, I can't guarantee reproducing it. So maybe it's also dependant on the system memory or capabilities?
Great article by the way!
I notice in this article that the inline list items are always assigned a margin. They are never flush together in Mozilla 1.4 and Mozilla Firebird 0.6.1.
Why is that, and how can I get the list items to be flush. Even in the example the margins are set to 0px.
Thanks! Great article.
Anyway of making the button bgcolour staying on when clicked? And only having the last button clicked retain the new background colour value?
Tim, maybe that should be done in HTML. Change the class of the "clicked" button, and be sure to make that class have the color you want.
There's a wonderfully gruesome bug in Mac IE 5.2 that makes working with inline lists and the border-pipe trick very annoying. It appears you cannot completely text-align:center or text-align:right an inline list. If you do, you will see the list elements centered but when you access anything like border values they are still aligned left! Now that's some sloppy programming if they're hacking up block elements like that, avoiding encapsulation. This was a very hard bug to track down but 2 hours later I figured it out so beware. Win IE 6 handles ok, haven't tested in earlier Win IEs. You can workaround by applying a padding-left but you can't really get it centered that way if the list is on two lines.
Does anyone have a list of the browsers that support custom images for bullet points please? Is it purely IE?
I was trying to make a different a:hover color work, but ie added extra padding on the right. Check out this tutorial for a neat fix that works on six browsers:

Although thin and light, with fast 4G LTE speeds, the Motorola Droid Xyboard 8.2 is impossible for us to recommend at its current price.
The Motorola Droid Xyboard 10.1 is a premium Android tablet from the company that defined the category, held back by a high price and uninspired design.
Is the Motorola Droid Xyboard 8.2 a stopgap or something worth signing up for?
The original Xoom was the first Honeycomb tablet released. Now we have Motorola's followup, the Droid Xyboard 8.2. The Xyboard is only a hair thicker than the iPad 2 and weighs less than a pound.
Photos of the Xyboard 8.2 doing what Xyboards do.
Verizon will launch Motorola's latest tablets tomorrow, according to stores in the Los Angeles area.
Perhaps new branding can help jump-start Motorola and Verizon's next Android tablets.

CNET UK nabs an early review of the Motorola Xoom 2 Android tablet, which is currently unavailable for U.S. customers.
Production of the 7.85-inch display that could find its way to a smaller iPad is expected to begin in August, according to NPD DisplaySearch.

BOSTON (AP) - Christopher Sheldon has been confirmed the winner of the Republican primary in the state's reconfigured 9th congressional district five days after the election.
Official results released by the Secretary of State's office Tuesday show the Plymouth businessman and Plymouth County Charter Commissioner beating Adam Chaprales of Barnstable by just 79 votes.
The official results reversed unofficial figures the day after the election that showed Chaprales winning by 39 votes out of about 22,000 cast.
In a letter to supporters, Chaprales said he was disappointed by the outcome but pledged his full support to Sheldon in the general election against freshman Democratic U.S. Rep. William Keating.
Chaprales said he opted against a recount because it would not be in the interest of the Republican Party and would be expensive for municipalities in the district.

Passion of the Christ RPG
On my mind
Not rated
(0 votes)
Apr 19 2009, 11:50 AM
So i decided to go with my gut and create the Passion of the Christ RPG on the RPG Maker forum.
Everybody seemed pretty cool with the idea, that is except one guy. He was so up with the idea
that what i was doing was blasphamy and i shouldn't create a fictional part to the RPG and i should
only keep to the historical parts.
I'm all for the idea of Jesus Christ but..to actually try to bring somebody down because they want
to broadcast the story of J.C and create their own version?
They should feel HAPPY that somebody wants to create their own version of Jesus Christ. He was a
man who inspired many and yet when somebody idolises him through computer games, they're
being rude to the Lord and should immediately stop because it'll offend many!
Grar. Stupid people...

So, you may have read the actual synopsis over at the forum, if not, here's the link.
RTP RPG Synopsis
I was thinking as to how to spark up the RPG a little more. I'd like to have several features
which make the game even MORE interesting!
So i decided that this game would be a lot like Kingdom Hearts (for those who don't know it...think Final Fantasy mixed with Disney)
Now, i was thinking as to HOW to make it like K.H, so i skulked around the forum to find scripts and such and found these:
Tankentai Battle System (Since i cannot find a Action Battle System, which is fighting on the map!)
The Caterpillar Script
The Quest Script
OverDrive Script.
Checkpoint Script
Actor Profile Information Script
Beastiary (Monster Book) Script
So that should make the game a little interesting, i'll also add some hidden weapons, items, skills, ect.
If you can't kill a boss or in desperate need of a potion, seach around and you shall find something!

As you may have read from my post on the forum, i've been investigating into a RPG based around Jesus Christ.
This was all spurred by me watching The Da Vinci Code and the recent Easter Holiday.
I had the idea of playing as both a investigator in the present who was researching the secret behind J.C, and playing
the actual Jesus Christ during the biblical times. The idea was, if you do something as Jesus 2000 years ago, it'll appear
as something to add evidence during the present.
So if you destroy a farm in biblical times, a town might vanish during the present (or something similar) and the investigator
must find out where it went.
This was the plan! That was before i heard what others had to say on the idea of Jesus Christ being in a RPG. So i started
thinking "
How could i make it so it doesn't offend people and yet i can still have my awesome time-switching idea?
" It
then occured to me.
"DUH! I can just change the idea of having Jesus Christ and change it to some made-up God or Prophet that
never existed!"
So, you now play the Detective who must find out what happened to the Prophet Lord Zyan (pronounced Z-Eye-Ah-N) during his days in the
olden times. I've decided to also add a nifty feature, those in the past will use VX graphics (the shorter graphics) and those in the present will
have the XP graphics, converted to be used in VX, that way it looks like the people evolved or something to become taller.
So, there's the LAST single RPG i've got planned before doing my MOG.

I decided to add more RPGs to the list of single RPGs i'll make after the RTP RPG series.
Again, if i don't get around to making them then they'll be scrapped, no big deal.
Horror RPG: You play as a peasant boy who is going for a picnic with his sister. While walking it starts to rain (cliche, i know!)
they quickly take shelter in a house, everything seems fine that is until the boy's sister is heard screaming, she then
disappears. The boy looks around the house to find that the old owners of the house are still here...but they're not alive...
So you must fight against the mysterious creatures that are trying to eat you and find your sister and GET THE HELL OUT OF THERE!
Sci-Fi RPG: There aren't really any TRUE Sci-Fi RPGs around so i thought i'd make one. You play a space traveller who wakes up on a half-destroyed
ship. You try to figure out what has happened to your ship, your lost memory and your crew. Further into the game you can get your own
ship in which to travel around space! The "villain" of the story will be revealed as you get closer to the end of the game.
Ancient War RPG: You play a small child who is torn away from his/her family and trained to become a soldier in a war that's been going on for hundreds of years
Once you are older, you can customize your soldier. The war plagues the world and all seems lost, that is until you are ordered to find anicent
artifacts which are said to hold power that could help win the war.

So i decided that the end of the RTP RPG series will not be my last RPGs made. I'm planning to do several single RPGs and if i don't
get around to making them, then they don't get done and will eventually be scrapped. So with my Re-colour shop, the RTP RPG series
and the single RPG's i'll be all computered out.
So here's some of the stuff i plan to do AFTER the RTP RPG series:
Murder Mystery RPG: A basic murder mystery, you play a detective that has a reputation for being a failure, nobody wants you around.
When the cheif hears of a low-information murder in a dark suburbia town, he immediately sends you out to solve
it (and get you out of the city). At first it just seems like a regular open-and-shut case, that is until you notice something
with the evidence that seems IMPOSSIBLE to occur, it's at that point that things get even weirder.
Ancient Ninja RPG: A simple RPG which plays on my love for ninjas. You play as Hong, a ninja-in-training under The Sensei. You train at the Ninja Academy and
are training to become one of the infamous Shadow Ninjas. All seems at peace until Zhoa Fong (
Zhoa = Sh-ow
) and his Blood Ninjas attack the
Academy and capture all the Shadow Ninjas, all except Hong and the Sensei who manage to escape in time. Once Zhoa Fong has gone, Hong
and Sensei sneak back into the Academy in which to plan their rescue of the other Shadow Ninjas and the defeat of Zhoa Fong.
Medevil MOG: I thought i'd try my hand at a Multiplayer Online Game so, here it is. You may create your own character and join in the other knights as you raise to
become rich, famous and feared. Be either a regular knight or choose to be a mythical creature (such as a orc or a elf), you don't just have to joust
to become famous. You may also go into Sword Fighting or Slayer Matches (Killing creatures in a fixed amount of time). Future versions may include
the option to buy houses, get married and even become a King over a town. If you really don't want to be apart of the famous crowd, you can go off
into the wild and kill bandits, find treasure, discover new land or hunt animals. Your armour (or clothing) will be visible and you can upgrade armour if
you're knowing in the ways of the blacksmith to create better, more creative armour.
After i make the base of the MOG i'll be finished with the RPG's, i'll make a few changes here and there, now and then so it doesn't become boring and i'll even add some things that people request (new weapons, new armour, ect.) so i'll still have a small connection to the RPG world but i'll be off handling other things.

Have you ever thought of blackjack in terms of football? It can indeed be both an offensive and a defensive game. You're on offense when you double down on 11 against a dealer's 6. For the player, it's first and goal in an attempt to capitalize on a favorable situation. You go on defense when you split eights against a dealer's 10. A pair of eights gives you 16, a very treacherous hand. Splitting those eights means you're gambling to turn one bad hand into two good ones in hopes of sacking the dealer at a price of doubling your bet. You also risk playing two bad hands instead of just one.
Have you ever noticed that periodic two-second delay when the slot machine you are playing won't allow you to initiate a wager? I've heard players say the machine is somehow recycling into a winning mode, or perhaps a losing one. Maybe it's a tip that a jackpot is on the way. It's all a myth about gambling devices that are fertile ground for misinformation. The delay isn't a signal at all. It takes place when the machine's internal electronic meters are being updated. The meters have no connection with the random number generator and therefore have no significance for the player or anything at all to do with winning or losing.
Have you ever watched with anticipation as the reels on your slot machine stop one by one until a decision is reached? One jackpot symbol falls, two jackpot symbols fall, then a single bar. You see the third symbol that will generate a jackpot hanging enticingly above the pay line. Is the machine teasing you? Not really. The reels on traditional spinning reel and video slots do not spin independently of one another. The outcome of the symbols on the pay line or the grid of symbols on a video slot is predetermined the instant you initiate a play. The drama of watching the reels is an illusion that is created to simulate a game-playing experience.
Have you ever walked away from a slot machine and see the next person who sits down hit a jackpot? The money should have been yours, you think. Well, as the old song goes, it ain't necessarily so. Even when a slot machine isn't being played, it is still processing combinations of symbols until one is revealed when somebody makes a bet. Everyone's chances of hitting the jackpot are always the same during any given window of playing time. In the time it took you to get up and somebody else to sit down, thousands of combinations were presented but not revealed. Jackpots are always possible but they are never waiting to happen.

Police said 35-year-old Jennifer Reed has been charged with first-degree assault, and operating a motor vehicle under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

It's another cool winter day here. Not as cold as it has been, but none the less it is still winter. A lot of the snow has melted, but the sky is filling with clouds that are no doubt carrying the snow that is predicted to fall tomorrow. I don't know about you, but there is nothing like this kind of weather that has me craving carbohydrates, most especially contained in a package of something tasty and sweet!
The sun peaked through a break in the gathering clouds to shine down on some bananas I had ripening as if sending a message from heaven…must…make….chocolatey good banana muffins! How could I not heed the heavenly call when so obviously the bananas were perfectly ripe for baking.
My mother in-law shudders whenever she is over and spots ripe bananas such as these on my kitchen counter. She will only eat a banana if it is slightly green at the top and does not have a blemish of any kind on the skin. Sadly my husband is a banana from her tree. Once a banana skin shows signs of browning he will not eat it. I can eat only so many bananas so needless to say I have come up with many creative ways to serve up the ripe fruit.
Ripe Bananas are not just used for Banana bread. Four days ago I served Bananas Foster for dessert using three bananas from this bunch. They weren't as ripe as the ones pictured above. The skins were brown but the fruit inside was still firm. Some butter, sugar and a splash of good dark rum and mother in-law and hubby had no idea of how ripe a banana they were eating…and I might add they didn't seem to care one whit as they shoveled back the treat served over ice cream.
But now almost a week later, the remaining three bananas are ready for today's treat, Banana Nut Chocolate Chip Muffins!
This recipe produces a nice cake like muffin that is a snap to make up. A blender, a bowl, spatula and muffin tin is all the equipment you really need! If you don't have a blender, a mixer will work just as well.
Banana Nut Chocolate Chip Muffins
Preheat oven to 400F
Grease the cups of a muffin tin.
In a medium size mixing bowl, stir together the following ingredients:
1 3/4 cup flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped walnuts, or nut of your choice
1 cup mini or regular size chocolate chips
In a blender add the following ingredients and mix until well blended:
3 very ripe bananas (to make about 1 cup of mashed banana)
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
1/4 cup milk
1/4 vegetable oil
Add the wet ingredients from the blender to the dry ingredients in the bowl. Using a spatula stir just until the ingredients until mixed but do not over beat. Divide the mixture between the 12 muffin cups and then bake in the 400F oven for 20-25 minutes. Cool on wire rack.
The muffins are baked, and the house is filled with the warm aroma of bananas and chocolate. The sun is behind the clouds for good now, but after having eaten two muffins I don't care. Sometimes you have to make your own sunshine and if it takes a really yummy muffin (or two or three)…so be it!
Good Day and Good Eats!

TAKE a firm of solicitors, employ an Albanian "interpreter" to recruit hundreds of Kosovan asylum seekers from major ports and stations, and promise them top-notch legal advice. Then do nothing for them, but swell the practice's income by more than u1m a year through legal aid claims.
This is the scam that has allegedly been operated by scores of London solicitors over the past year.
Immigration green form advice is the largest single drain on the legal aid budget. It cost u35m in 1997/98, and is expected to rise to u50m this year.
Much of this money is lining the pockets of unscrupulous immigration solicitors, who are cynically milking the system and not offering adequate legal advice to the clients they so actively recruit.
The Law Society has been aware of the problem for some time but, as The Lawyer revealed last week, it has been slow to act, failing to pass a damning report to the Legal Aid Board (LAB) last October.
Yet the Asylum and Immigration Bill, published last week, allows the society to retain control of these shady lawyers.
Plans to force solicitors to be covered by a new statutory regulation scheme for immigration advisers have been shelved following a behind-the-scenes tussle between the Home Office and the Lord Chancellor's Department. Insiders say that the Government has told the Law Society to get tough on questionable solicitors if it wants its members to escape regulation.
The official Home Office version of events is that it would be unworkable to have immigration solicitors registered with the Home Office, because some of them also work in other areas of the law and would be answerable to two masters.
Concern about the problem has led to a crackdown on legal aid claims by the Legal Aid Board and the announcement of its closer co-operation with the Office for the Supervision of Solicitors (OSS).
LAB is investigating 76 immigration firms whose legal aid claims have risen dramatically in the past year. It is compiling a report for the Lord Chancellor calling for tighter control of immigration work through the use of exclusive contracts.
But this is no ordinary scam. Asylum and immigration is a highly politicised area of law, and the various vested interests charged with improving regulations are all pointing a finger at each other in a bid to protect their own corners.
The Home Office is blaming lawyers, the Law Society says that the problem lies with non-lawyer immigration advisers, and the Immigration Law Practitioners Association (ILPA) says LAB is being too simplistic about the whole issue because it wants to save money.
Perhaps the most damning evidence comes from a former Law Society immigration official, who left the society after it failed to act on his warnings about dodgy immigration solicitors.
Former Law Society immigration law sub-committee secretary Richard Dunstan, made a no-holds-barred farewell speech to the ILPA at the end of last year: "The great majority of those now operating in the asylum field, both lawyers and non-lawyers, are either insufficiently competent, dishonest or both."
He condemned the Law Society as "hopeless" at regulating immigration solicitors, said that the OSS appeared "unable to act decisively", and slammed the Home Office for being slow to act, despite being in possession of the facts.
Dunstan estimated that, of the top 40 green form billing firms in the field of asylum and immigration law, six were good, four or five had some shortcomings and the rest were "cowboys at best, and outright fraudsters at worst".
He cited one firm that earned in excess of u500,000 last year by recruiting up to 100 asylum seekers a week via "interpreters" at the Government's Asylum Screening Unit (ASU) in Croydon.
Home Office insiders say that they have had to act against interpreters recruiting in the ASU waiting room, in the street and at the nearby railway station. Apparently, officials have even discovered interpreters signing green forms in the ASU toilets.
The average claim for legal advice offered at the ASU has been about u1,100 per asylum seeker.
"The LAB is pouring millions of pounds of taxpayers' money into the pockets of cowboy solicitors," said Dunstan.
Mike Boyle, director of social services at Brent Council, and the man with responsibility for asylum seekers, has direct experience of the problem. "We've been getting a disproportionate number of referrals from a small group of legal practices," he says.
"Some of the asylum seekers who turned up on our doorstep with solicitors' letters, saying they were eligible for assistance from us because they had been staying in Brent since their arrival, were unable to recall any details at all about the accommodation they had allegedly been staying in. In one or two cases, we have had reason to believe that asylum seekers brought the Brent solicitors' letters with them from Kosovo."
The Law Society continues to play down the problem. Spokesman Dave McNeill says that once you put the figures into context, there is not much of a problem with bad immigration lawyers, and that when you look at the kind of complaints that have been received - the problem is even less worrying.
"Last year, there were only 71 complaints to the OSS about this area - out of a total of 25,000 complaints.
"And these were mainly about administrative matters such as failure to hand files over to other solicitors, failure to show up at adjudication panels and eleventh-hour asylum applications for their clients."
But, as Dunstan pointed out, the society's regulatory function is predominantly complaints-led, and there are not too many complaints flooding in from vulnerable asylum seekers who often cannot speak English and do not know how the system is supposed to work.
According to McNeill, the real problem lies with the Home Office and non-lawyer immigration advisers, rather than swathes of bent solicitors carving up the legal aid budget between them.
"Some of the lawyers on the list of 76 may be there because the Home Office finds them abrasive. But if your job is to act as your client's champion, you have a professional obligation to throw a spanner in the works. A lawyer's responsibility is to the client, not to the bureaucracy.
"The real problem is with immigration advisers, not solicitors. You hear stories of people being charged hundreds of pounds for forms they could get free. For whatever reason, Jack Straw has sought to point the finger at lawyers."
He points out that lawyers caught defrauding the legal aid system, or not doing a proper job for their clients could ultimately be struck off.
Immigration barrister Stephanie Harrison accuses Home Office officials of failing to make complaints in most cases, or to take action against offenders.
"The Home Office hasn't had much of an incentive," she says. "When asylum seekers are properly represented, it makes the Home Office's job more difficult.
"The asylum system is already over-burdened. Good representation takes time and increases the backlog. If you're not properly represented, it helps the Home Office to get a higher volume of cases through."
Harrison urges the Home Office to take action to enforce legal standards at immigration hearings. "Lawyers can get away with the sort of things that they would never be allowed to in other courts."
Jawaid Luqmani of the ILPA says that it is time to stop pussyfooting around the issue of corrupt solicitors. "Let's name them and shame them, so that we all know who they are," he says.
Reputable solicitors and barristers working on the ground are concerned about how current practices work against asylum seekers - an extremely vulnerable client group. Solicitor Jane Coker of Jane Coker & Partners says the lives of some asylum seekers could be put at risk.
"We've been banging on about this for years to try to stop asylum seekers getting rubbish advice from solicitors." She says her firm sometimes picks up the pieces from unscrupulous immigration lawyers.
Due to the crisscrossing of vested interests in the asylum business, Dunstan fears that the absence of proactive regulation for lawyers means one set of cowboys will be weeded out simply to make way for a new generation of equally unscrupulous practitioners.

DENVER–Randy Foye recorded a season-high 23 Pts (8-17 FG, 7-12 3PT) for the Denver Nuggets (17-17) as they they beat the Boston Celtics (13-22) 129-98 at the Pepsi Center on Jan. 8. The Nuggets have won three-straight games since losing eight-consecutive games from Dec. 17 to Jan. 1. Kenneth Faried (21 Pts, 13 Reb) and Ty Lawson (19 Pts, 13 Ast ) also added double-doubles for the Nuggets. Jeff Green led the Celtics with 17 Pts and 4 Reb.
Early in the game, the Nuggets took a commanding lead by hitting threes, dunks and free throws. In the first quarter, the Nuggets outscored the Celtics 31-23. The second quarter was much of the same as the Nuggets scored 37 points to the Celtics 22.
And then the third quarter happened.
The third quarter got a little more interesting when starting Celtics center Jared Sullinger got two quick flagrant fouls to get tossed out of the game with 8:43 left in the quarter. Sullinger first fouled JJ Hickson hard from behind on defense, and then threw an elbow to Faried's face on offense to get the boot.
Wilson Chandler, who has played in 28 games this season for the Nuggets, left in the third with a groin injury. On Jan. 8, Chandler will undergo a precautionary MRI on his groin since the strain was on the same side as a previous hip surgery.
First-year Nuggets coach Brian Shaw got his first ejection as a head coach on Tuesday. Shaw argued an offensive foul call on Evan Fournier, picked up two technicals, and left the game towards the end of the third. The Nuggets need not worry at that point–they led the Celtics by 28 during the time of ejection.
In the fourth quarter, the Nuggets snapped six-straight quarters of scoring 30+ points as they finished the game with 26 points. In the last two and a half minutes, the Nuggets emptied their bench playing Quincy Miller, Anthony Randolph and Jordan Hamilton. Miller came off the bench and hit a three and finished a dunk to end the game on a high note.
Other Notes:
-Andre Miller missed his third-straight game since getting into a shouting match with Shaw against the Sixers. Miller's expected to leave the team by the end of the week. Since getting suspended, the Nuggets have gone 3-0 without Miller.
- Six Nuggets players scored at least 10 Pts against the Celtics.
-In their past three games, the Nuggets have averaged 125.6 points.
-Shaw's squad has gone 3-0 since limiting the rotation to nine players.
-This win was the largest margin of victory the Nuggets have EVER had over the Celtics.
For their next game, the Nuggets host the Oklahoma City Thunder. Tip-off is at 8:30 PM MT. The game will be nationally televised on TNT.
