Custom CSS bullet list style not showing in IE6

[surfocracy]

I am trying to use CSS2 to create a simple navigation list of links using a <ul> tag with a custom style defined containing a graphical bullet.

In the link below, the bullets do not appear in IE6 but do appear in Netscape 6.2. Is there a way of overcoming this?

I am also trying to center the list in the left column and have had great difficulty doing so.

In the past I had used a table for this but would like to move away from too many nested tables.

I have validated the CSS style sheet.

Thanks

I'm guessing it's because IE doesn't support custom list styles.

I doubt this is the case. I am able to redefine the <ul> tag and customise it with graphical bullets.

I noticed that when I visit the page the bullets do appear but as soon as I hover the mouse over it the bullets disappear and do not come back. I am wondering if it is getting confused with the hover style on the link.

Any help would be appreciated, all I am trying to do is create a simple unordered list as my vertical navigation without using a table. I do not know why this is so difficult in IE.

Thanks

found it!!! your problem is with your margins.


.verticalnav1 ul li {
margin: 5px 25px 10px;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
text-align: left;
}


try that instead. then you can play with the numbers

Thanks a lot Karinne!

I have managed to fix it here based in your suggestion http://www.test.customerdemo.com/xx-list-problem-fix1.htm

Can you explain why it did not work in the first place?

I have also noticed that the CSS hover rollover does not underline even though I gave it the underline decoration and have placed the link styles in the correct order (link, hover, visited). Can you see anything obvious?

Thanks

actually your order is wrong it's suppose to be

link
visited
hover
active

try that ;)

That's great, thanks a lot for that. Don't know how I missed that one.
