CSS List question

    Hi,

    I have a list on a web page, and I added

    #content li{
    display:inline;
    }

    to the stylesheet, so that it will display the same in IE and Firefox. Without that, the list items in Firefox have a line break between them, while in IE there is no line break (The way it looks in IE is also the way I want it to look in Firefox).

    However, when I use display:inline; it removes the 'disc' from before the list item. I tried adding in list-style-type:disc; to both the li style and the ul style, but it didn't work.

    Does anyone know how I get the disc back, but keep the display:inline properties?

    Thanks.

    Can you post a link to the page in question

    No sorry, I don't have it hosted yet and the data is being pulled from a database that I only have setup locally.

    Basically, I want to be able to control the line spacing between items in a list so that it will look the same in IE and Firefox, and I want to be able to keep the list format. I'll see if I can find an example to show you..

    Even a screenshot of the page in Mozilla and IE would help

    Have you got

    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;

    for the list?

    /oh I think I got the wrong end of the stick.
    does this code not work

    list-style-type: disc;

    or if you have a disc gif try

    list-style: disc url(bullet.gif) inside;

    try:
    display:block;float:left
    
    instead

    otherwise strip the code of its non-essentails and post it?

    I think I'm ok, thanks. FCKEditor is being used to add in the data, so I think it's more to do with FCKEditor than the lists themselves, I'll check the code for that
