list-style-type: decimal not showing in IE

The code posted below works great in FF, but won't work in IE.....The <li> # won't show (no bullets either). I have wasted a good many hours on this. I am kind of new to the CSS and getting pretty aggravated with the display issues between IE and FF....Anyway all suggestions are appreciated

Code:
<ol>
<li>Mare is administered hCG at 1 pm Friday the 1st of May after ultrasonography reveals a 38 mm diameter preovulatory follicle with good associated uterine edema and a relaxed cervix</li>
<li>Mare is artificially inseminated with good quality fresh or cooled semen 24 hours post hCG administration on Saturday the 2nd of May</li>
<li>Mare is ultrasounded on Sunday the 3rd of May and ovulation is detected. Human chorionic gonadotropin should induce a mare to ovulate 36 to 42 hours post-injection or 1.5 days after administration</li>
<li>Mare is flushed on Saturday the 9th of May at 1 pm to retrieve a late morula or early blastocyst to be vitrified</li>
</ol>

CSS:

ol li{
font-size:13px;
width:85%;
padding-bottom:2%;
padding-right:5%;
list-style:inside;
list-style-type:decimal;
}

Thanks!
