Stupid n00b HTML question

JenC · 2004-10-19, 06:54 PM

I can't believe that I forgot how to do this. I don't do it very often.

I am trying to make bullets in an ordered list. When I make the bullets in Dreamweaver using the <li> tag they come out as circles. How do I make the bullets square like on this site?

I viewed his source, but it just says <li> tags, just like I'm using. Help!

PHP Code:


			
<li type="square">

That will give you square ones

EDIT: That guy put the square info in his style sheet, that's why you only see a regular <li>

PHP Code:


			
ul {

    list-style-type: square;

    color: #000000;

    font-weight: bold;



}

When you're starting the bulleted list, press the "unordered list" button in the "selection properties" floating palette. Then click the little button that says "List Item..." in the bottom half of the "selection properties" palette.

The second drop down menu on the "list properties" palette that appears is "style", select "square."

using <ul type="square"> would also work
