need help with bulleted lists

[Eric Fields]

I'm trying to use the TYPE=SQUARE attribute in a bulleted list but when I
browse the page with IE5.5 it shows the items with a circular bullet.

Can anyone tell me how to get my browser to display the squares?

In your css are you using

{list-style-type:square;}

Can anyone tell me how to get my browser to display the squares?

<ul style="list-style-type: square;">
<li>This item has a square next to it</li>
</ul>

<ul style="list-style-type: square;">
<li>This item has a square next to it</li>
</ul>

What about
list-style-type:square; (without =" ") ?

Best regards

What about
list-style-type:square; (without =" ") ?

The quotes are required because the data of the style attribute has a space
in it (or because the author is using HTML 4.01 strict or XHTML).

"list-style-type: square" ?

The quotes are required because the data of the style attribute has a space

HTML 4.01 strict doesn't require quotes around attributes any more so
than HTML 4.01 transitional.

Don't know if this is the case, but I find if the type size is small, it
appears as a circle. If it is larger, it appears as a square - or whatever
other attribute you chose.

Thank you everyone for responding. I have found the answer to my problem
among your responses.

Don't know if this is the case, but I find if the type size is
small, it appears as a circle. If it is larger, it appears as a
square - or whatever other attribute you chose.

Strangely enough, on my IE 6 on Win98, plain <ul> creates a rectangular
marker if I set font size to "smaller" in browser settings; for other
directly selectable sizes, it's a bullet as expected. If I set the font
size using font-size in CSS, the markers keep their size, somewhat
oddly (though we can argue that they aren't part of the font).

On IE 6 on WinXP, <ul> creates a bullet in "smaller" size too. It seems
that IE is getting rid of its bugs and deficiencies in list marker
display.
