Removing Unnecessary Filler Content on My Website

Struggling with some custom code on my Squarespace website. I'm having trouble isolating and targeting a specific element in my custom CSS.

Here's a link to the site:

I've attempted using #main-navigation a.folder {padding: 0px}; in the global CSS file, but it doesn't seem to be working. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly welcomed.

It seems that Squarespace is generating an empty navigation link with padding, and I can't figure out how to remove this padding from the specific element.

See screenshot here

Answer №1

Instead of being "padding," it appears to be an anchor tag, most likely intended for holding an icon in drop-down menus.

If possible, remove the empty anchor tag in that spot.

<li aria-haspopup="true" class="folder-collection folder">
<a href="#" onclick="return false;"></a> <!-- < this anchor is the space -->
<a href="http://www.roboticsrookie.com/reviews/">Reviews</a>
<span class="delimiter">/</span>
<div class="subnav">
<ul>
<li class="page-collection"><a href="/robotics-reviews/">Robotics Reviews</a></li>
<li class="page-collection"><a href="/book-reviews/">Book Reviews</a></li>
<li class="blog-collection"><a href="/reviews/">Reviews</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
</li>

Alternatively, you can add CSS:

li.folder-collection.folder > a:nth-child(1) { display: none;}

This action should eliminate the first empty anchor.

Your CSS selector was incorrect. #main-navigation a.folder searches for an anchor with the class "folder." In essence,

<a class="folder" href="#"></a>
.

What you actually have is a list item with the class folder and an anchor tag inside that list item. Or

<li class="folder-collection folder"><a href="#"></a></li>
.

You can't easily target that particular anchor because there's nothing distinguishing about it. It lacks a unique class or id attribute compared to other anchors within the list item. Therefore, consider using more precise selectors like nth-child to single it out.
