XHTML Tutorial - Un-ordered List Item Markers
(Continued from previous topic...)
How To Use Different Markers on Unordered List Items?
By default, browsers will use solid dots as the item markers for unordered lists.
If you want to change them to something else, like tiny squares, you need to
use CSS properties. Here is a tutorial example showing you how to set item markers to
be tiny squares:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>List Item Markers</title>
</head>
<body>
<h4>Search Engines:</h4>
<ul style="list-style-type: square">
<li>google.com</li>
<li>yahoo.com</li>
<li>msn.com</li>
<li>ask.com</li>
</ul>
</body>
</html>
If you save the above document as square_item_marker.html, and view it with
Internet Explorer, you will see a list of 4 items with tiny squares as item markers as shown below:
