Ordered List Not working

    I have a blog where I’m using an ordered list

      command and when I show it in preview I get 1. for each line item rather than getting the incrementing numbers. I’ve even tried to use the type=”1″ parameter in the ol, and nothing seems to work. 

    <ol>
<li>first item</li>
<li>second item</li>
<li>third item</li>
</ol>

    results:
    1. first item
    1. second item
    1. third item

    Thanks for any help with this problem
    Steve

    is the html that you posted something you got from viewing the html of your post/page in the broswser, or something that you expect to see?

    link to your site?

    It’s actually what I see on my preview and when I publish

    do you see this structure:

    <ol>
<li>first item</li>
<li>second item</li>
<li>third item</li>
</ol>

    in the html code in your browser?

    (i am not asking what you see on the screen)

    The Code I put up is what I copied from the HTML tab of the body editor. In the Visual Body it shows:

    1. test 1
    2. test 2
    3. test 3

    The problem is that’s not what I get when I preview or publish.

    Can we see the published page? Your theme may be re-styling ordered lists.

    I think I figured it out, it’s not word press. I was using Firefox, and then I went to IE and had the same problem except I get a list of 0. instead of 1. Then I went to Chrome – no problem, Safari – no problem. It’s the browser or a plug-in for the browser that isn’t working.

    List displays aren’t browser or plugin specific. My guess is that it’s a poor bit of CSS and the ‘0’ that you are seeing are actually list circles intended for a bulleted list.

    Got it! style.css:

    .art-post li {
    margin: 0.2em 0;
    overflow: hidden;
    padding: 0;
}

    Remove overflow: hidden;.
