Numbered Lists

B

Becky

We're using CSS, and within the Body definition, we have the following:
body {
background: #D1C9AD;
color: #000000;
padding: 0;
text-align: center;
font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 1em;
margin-left: 0;
margin-right: 0;
margin-top: 15px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
list-style: decimal;
}
The problem is, when in the htm page in 2003 which references the above CSS,
if I click on the numbered list option, I receive a disc, not a number.

What am I doing wrong?

Really? Becaue with the following page, I don't see this.

<html>
<head>
<title>Test</title>
<style>
body {
background: #D1C9AD;
color: #000000;
padding: 0;
text-align: center;
font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 1em;
margin-left: 0;
margin-right: 0;
margin-top: 15px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
list-style: decimal;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<ol>
<li>one</li>
<li>two</li>
<li>three</li>
</ol>
</body>
</html>

What are you doing differently?

They look very similar, so I'm not sure. My code is within a CSS, and begins
like the following, not with the html, head, etc. Here is the beginning of
my CSS:

/* cmich generic template css */
/* use with cmich-3col-template2.htm */

/* use 1 em for body font size, and % for rest of font sizes ; then */
/* if changing font size, just change this and rest will be relative */

body {
background: #D1C9AD;
color: #000000;
padding: 0;
text-align: center;
font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 1em;
margin-left: 0;
margin-right: 0;
margin-top: 15px;
margin-bottom: 0px; list-style: decimal;
}

I think there must be something else in your styue sheet that's messing this
up.

For example, do you have any styles for the OL or LI selectors?
