You seem to have some bad css the brackets seem to be nested 
incorrectly... and you could also be inheriting from your other elements 
with margin: 0px etc.

Explicitly define your ul with some css and perhaps you will override 
where it's being inherited from.

body {
 font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
 font-size: 13px;
 a:link {color:"#80c41c";text-decoration: underline; }
 a:visited {color:"#80c41c";text-decoration: underline; }
 a:hover{color:#80c41c;text-decoration: underline; foreground:#80c41c;background:#000000 }
 a:active{color:#d4d4d4;text-decoration: underline; }
 ul.sample {
	list-style-type: inherit;
	list-style-image: none;
	list-style-position: inside; }
}
