Where have my bullets gone?

    Recently, my lists have been showing up without bullets. I don’t know if it’s a stylesheet problem or what, but I didn’t change anything and all of a sudden they were gone.

    Whenever I do an unordered list

    <ul>
<li>Something here
<li>Something else here
<li>One more thing here
</ul>

    I get text that’s indented, but no bullets. I used to get something that looked like this: >

    But now, nothing. Any ideas how that could have happened?

    Thanks!

    Well, firstly, you should close your LI tags.

    However, without giving us a link to an example of the problem in action, we can’t really venture a guess as to what’s up.

    I know WordPress loves to close certain tags, but I’ve always thought (and was taught) that some are superfluous. Closing a paragraph tag is superfluous. Closing a LI tag is superfluous. I’ve never understood why WordPress code insists on being so cluttered with extraneous text.

    What’s strange is, the bullets show up in Safari on an iPod Touch, and in Firefox on a PC running Vista, but not on Internet Explorer.

    Here’s a link to an example.

    If it’s that some browsers will display it and some won’t, is there a way to ensure that most garden-variety browsers will? I can’t believe a browser like IE wouldn’t recognize a simple LI tag.

    Thanks.
