CSS: problem with extra space

Hello, I have a problem with script from dynamicdrive dhtml.
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex1/navigate1.htm
I have extra space on the left of the list.
wich style or changes do I add to avoid these extra spaces.
I tried some solution that was working with safari/chrome and not with IE9.

Thanks for your help.

Try giving the .treeview a CSS style of padding:0;

Like this in your treemenu.css:

.treeview {padding:0;}

If LZ1's suggestion doesn't work, I would change your CSS to ID's and eliminate the need to call a separate class. Line 13 of your HTML would look like this: <ul id="treeview">

and your CSS:

#treeview ul{ /*CSS for Simple Tree Menu*/
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}

#treeview li{ /*Style for LI elements in general (excludes an LI that contains sub lists)*/
background: white url(list.gif) no-repeat left center;
list-style-type: none;
padding-left: 22px;
margin-bottom: 3px;
}

#treeview li.submenu{ /* Style for LI that contains sub lists (other ULs). */
background: white url(closed.gif) no-repeat left 1px;
cursor: hand !important;
cursor: pointer !important;
}

#treeview li.submenu ul{ /*Style for ULs that are children of LIs (submenu) */
display: none; /*Hide them by default. Don't delete. */
}

#treeview .submenu ul li{ /*Style for LIs of ULs that are children of LIs (submenu) */
cursor: default;
}

Strange as it sounds, have seen positioning oddities utilizing classes before. I try to us them only for text/visual styles, and leave my positioning (margins, padding, etc.) to div IDs. Hope that helps.
