Ordered list not working in any browser

[andynagai]

hi

I simply want a numbered list to display within a table cell. Ive tried
the code below. Always shows bullets. Ive even tried setting the
list-style-type css property to 1 for each li item. It always shows
bullets. When I do this in a rather complex html page it doesnt work,
but when i just do this in a very simple html page that just shows this
it shows the numbers. Why does it not show a numbered list? Doesnt work
in ie or firefox.

<ol>
<li>text text</li>
<li>text text</li>
</ol>

1 is not an allowed value for that property, set it to decimal instead.
And setting it for the ol rather than for each li would probably be
more efficient.

</ol>

Obviously the "rather complex html page" is factor in why it doesn't
work, so unless you can provide a URL we can only guess what's wrong.

Well, then, showing the snippet of code here won't help anybody

Somewhere out there in your CSS you've got:

LI { list-style: something; }

or something like that. *NEVER* set "list-style" or the related CSS
properties on LI elements: set it on UL or OL elements instead.

(Unless you know what you're doing.)
