css & list-stye-type on ie5/6

[Bob Hartung]

Hi all,
I have a simple web page with the following tag:

ol {list-style-type: disc; }

When rendered on netscape the list items are preceded by a disc or
decimal number depending on whether I use the disc or decimal attribute.
On both ie5 and ie6 the page is rendered without anything preceding the
individual list items.

Can someone please enlighten me? Any and all help appreciated. The page
looks like crap and is meaningless without the bulleted or number lists.

Thanks

IE5 and IE6 do not fully comply with the W3C standards as does Netscape.

Sometimes you can get IE to obey the rules with the proper DOCTYPE
statement.
