list bullet styling 1

[1DMF]

hello,

is it possible to change the colour of the bullets in an unordered list, and have the text a different colour?

I did a google and found a link suggesting apply foreground colour to the UL but i did and nothing happened.

can anyone help?

cheers,

1DMF, I came across this code snippet:

<style type="text/css">
LI.list1 {list-style: circle outside; color:green;}
LI.list2 {list-style: square inside; color:blue}
.blacktext {color:black}
</style>

<ul>
<li class="list2"><span class="blacktext">This is one black line</span>
<li class="list2">This is another line that is much longer than the first. But it isn't a black line since we did not specify a style for the text that goes here other than the style we defined for the list.

</ul>

It appears if you set the color of the list item <li> the bullet changes the color of the <li> specified color. Then you put the text of the <li> in a <span> with a different color specified. That will give you the results you want.

so basically you have to add an additional wrapper to enable colour formatting, you can't actually say I want X colour text & Y colour bullets perae.

Yes, that is correct, there is no separate specification for bullet color and list item text color.
