CSS & Disappearing Bullets In IE6

3:58p.m., Fri 23 May 2008

Once you start applying a load of CSS definitions to lists (ordered lists in particular) IE6 starts panicking.

I've just spent an hour struggling with an ordered list whereby the first bullet refused to render.

There's a simple fix - the ordered list element needs a width equal to 100%%. You may have to apply a fixed width to the containing element to retain the integrity of your layout.

Since IE6 has a lot of bugs relating to the display of lists it's a tricky thing to google for. Annoying. But hey, it's Friday, and a long weekend to boot. Have a good one!
