Numbered Lists

Can see the numbers in Fire Fox but not in IE

hi All,
I can see a numbered list in FireFox, but IE has the numbers not showing.

My doctype and charset is:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">

I know that the charset

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
will display them the way I want, but I am worried as to how this will effect the rest of my site if I change the Charset.

Any other ideas?
Clint.

Strange. What's your IE version? I've checked in 6.0, and it's OK (Opera 7.54 too).

version number is 6.0.2800.1106.xpsp2.050301.-1526

So you think it could be cause I stuffed it somewhere else? but why would it work with a different charset?

Wait for 1-2 more opinions may be to be sure.

ACtually it wont work with either charset, I wonder what I am doing wrong and why does it work in FF?

Try in the simplest and 100% valid variant (trial page with necessary elements only). Exclude syntax causes then. If it woun't work, search for system deviations may be.

are you trying to see an empty ordered list? Make sure each <li></li> has something in between.

What I believe is that FF is right, it's just that IE has a problem, can anyone help in getting around it?
This how the code looks:

Things to consider:

<ol>
<li>Working Conditions: students per class, hours per week, split shifts.</li>
<li>Living Conditions: housing provided, or part subsidised, assistance to find accommodation.</li>
<li>Exclusivity: teaching at other schools or private classes.</li>
<li>Salary: per hour, overtime rate, bonuses.</li>
<li>Airfare: provided, or part subsidised.</li>
<li>Paid Holidays: how many provided.</li>
<li>Medical Insurance: provided, or part subsidised.</li>
<li>Transportation: costs provided, or part subsidised, vehicle provided.</li>
<li>Taxes: rates or exemptions.</li>
<li>Visa Conditions: length of visa, working restrictions.</li>
<li>Qualifications: certificates or degrees required.</li>
</ol>

To be a good teacher you need to be sincere, be willing to learn and be open-minded. Having said that, we are looking
for the best teachers possible. Be sure to pay special attention to your application. Those with spelling mistakes will
be removed immediately.

All is OK. The problem is definetely with YOUR own IE settings (or DLL's, etc.), not with IE in common.

A guess: you have zeroed out all or most of the padding and/or margins for <ol> elements in your CSS; if so, the numbers are present, but not visible. The fix - if this is indeed the problem - is to style some padding or margins back into the <ol>, OR set "list-style-position [w3schools.com]:inside;" in your stylesheet...or both :)

Oh Bedlam, Where were you all day?
I finally worked out the solution and was coming back here to write it up and then I see your notes. You knew how to fix it from the start.
I spent hours scrolling through Google, I even found other forums that had the same problem listed, with no result.
I tried removing the padding and margin and it worked.

ol{margin:0; padding:0px;color: #000; font-family: Arial; font-weight: bold; font-size: 8pt;}

Just wish you had read this thread about 4 hours ago.
Anyway thanks for the great tip, yet again.

Hey you guys all seem relatively bright, I wonder could you help with another thread I have going on the following page?

Thanks,
Clint.

Congrats, bedlam :) You are true Sherlock Holmes. I wish flaxmac were not too lazy to try the simplest way I recommended a day earlier. I'd received lot of thanxs too ;) lol
