styling li

[ipecac]

I tried adding a 1px dotted border under each li element (border-bottom: 1px dotted #000; in my css). Is it possible to somehow make this border appear under the bullet as well? The border doesn't show until the text of the li starts. I want to bottom-border the whole li element including the bullet.

Am I making any sense?

The list-style-position [w3.org] property controls whether the marker box formed to hold the bullet appears outside of the content area of the list-item (list-style-position:outside;) or inline with the content (list-style-position:inside;). The default setting is outside, which is why the border doesn't do what you want. Set it to inside and the marker box will be inside of the li's content area and take the underline.
