I am trying to style an ordered list to display horizontally. I
want the display to include the numbers (markers).
At first, I tried display: inline; but that eliminated the markers
since the items were no longer display: list-item.
So, I tried a float instead. It works in Firefox but not IE(6).
Please see:

Can anyone explain to me why the item markers aren't displayed in IE?
Unfortunately, IE's support for display:list-item is weak, to say the
least. Because the list-items are floated, they become display:block
in IE (wrong). Additionally the acquire 'layout' [1] which also
messes up with list-markers.
You list-markers are also missing in Opera (still) (tested 9.01, Mac
OS X); that is a bug in Opera imho.
Solutions ? Not many... add the numbers manually? or use the DOM to
append them with a script.
