While trying to figure out a way to get my <LI>s not to display bullets in a
<UL> I discovered that IE 5.0 seems to be igoring the TYPE attribute of <UL>
and <LI>. Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug? The following HTML
always displays square bullets even though I specified disc bullets...

<HTML>
<!-- Comments blah blah blah-->
<HEAD>
<TITLE>test</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY >
<UL TYPE="disc">
<LI TYPE="disc">a
<LI TYPE="disc">b
</UL>
</BODY>
</HTML>

I'd verify your casing of the TYPE attribute... both UPPERCASE and
lowercase are supported, CamelCasing is ignored.

Please provide a URL. When I tried on IE 5 (on Win98) , it displayed
list items within UL as suggested by TYPE attributes. And by default,
it displays list items with bullets ("discs"), so I don't quite see
what you are aiming at.
