Dear list,
I was wondering if anyone had a good way around a problem I'm having w/
NN4.x & list items. I've made a web site for a client:
<http://www.shef.ac.uk/~phil/>
All the main text is in a DIV w/ an ID of 'content'.
In Netscape 4.x (Win & Mac), list item bullets come out as boldface question
marks, and those are indented atop the list text. The Department's home page
shows this.
I know that NN4.x doesn't inherit text styles from <p> tags, so I've
specifically defined list items in the style sheet. Here's the relevant
markup:
p, blockquote, ul, ol, li {
font-family: "Verdana","Arial","Helvetica",sans-serif;
font-size: 10px;
}
#content li {
margin: 0px 70px 0px 25px;
}
(The margins are wide on the left & right in order to pad the text away from
the other DIV placers on the page, the 'Site Links' & 'Other Links' boxes).
Does anyone know a way around this? Or what I've screwed up?
PS I know that NN4.x doesn't handle the padding in the DIV boxes: that's
been deemed an acceptable problem. But the list problem isn't acceptable.
Best,
Ray
