Anyone have a solution? No solution, but at least an explanation: IE and Opera seem to follow the CSS2 rules "if 'float' has a value other than 'none', 'display' is set to 'block' and the box is floated." <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/visuren.html#q24> whereas Geckos are applying CSS 2.1: others (that is for example display: list-item) - same as specified <http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visuren.html#dis-pos-flo> In the older model 'display: list-item' is removed and that means you won't get any markers - numbers. You would have to add numbers in the markup and doing this loose the reason for using an ordered list instead of an unordered one and even get a new problem for UAs that don't read your styles - seeing (or reading) the numbers twice. :-( Susanne -- http://sujag.de - Webentwicklung und -beratung 10119 Berlin, Tel: 030 - 440 483 47 * CSS-Referenz für den Schreibtisch * CSS GE-PACKT - mitp http://mitp.de/vmi/mitp/detail/pWert/1620/titel/CSS%20GE-PACKT ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *******************************************************************
