Issue with Ordered List showing up

[Francesco]

Adding an ordered list in the code or through the editor does not display correctly in the web browser.
Weird, since in the Editor, it shows up correctly.

<ol>
<li>To provide you with valuable information about the school, its services, and our commitment&nbsp;to the children and their education.</li>
<li>To serve as a means of communication between school and family.</li>
<li>To inform you with the school procedures&nbsp;and policies.</li>
<li>To illustrate to future parents and children why Edward Murphy is the school for them.</li>
</ol>

Do you have the WYSIWYG editor turned on or off when you code the list?

I have a testbed/sandbox GetSimple site here where I will be developing some themes and testing GS features. I have an entire page dedicated to Unordered Lists, Ordered Lists and Definition Lists and they all display just fine.

The Editor is turned on. But like I said, even when looking at the code mode it's correct and also when seeing it through the Editor. As soon as I "View" it in web browser, it doesn't show up correctly. any hints?

Without an URL to see the problem, I am out of ideas.

Check your css, the editor uses normaly a different css file.

See http://get-simple.info/forum/viewtopic.php?id=173 (second post).

The editor only serves up style elements (e.g.,

Code:

<ul>

,

Code:

<ol>

, etc.). It's up to the theme's stylesheet to provide for all of those style elements.

If, for example, you have this somewhere in your stylesheet:

Code:

ul, ol { list-style: none; }

, you're indicating that you don't want list styles on any list, ordered or unordered. But if later on in the stylesheet (or in an inline stylesheet), you declare:

Code:

li { list-style-type: circle; }

, then the stylesheet will interpret this to mean that when it encounters any

Code:

<li>

, it's to be styled with a circle. So check your stylesheet carefully for redundant or ambiguous code.
