Lists and Styles

[Geat]

if you style up a list, e.g.

<style>
.mystyle { font-size:40px; }
</style>

<ul><li style="mystyle">Some data</li></ul>

The bullet point by the list stays at the default size, and stays bottom-aligned as well. Is there a way of forcing the bullet to inherit the properties of the caption?

You could use list-style-image (http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/generate.html#propdef-list-style-image) to specify an image for your lists. That way, you can make it look exactly how you'd like.

That's quite cool, but I'm making a site builder where the user can choose their template and various style aspects independantly - so there may be images and may be bullet points of different types and sizes. I was hoping there was an internal CSS solution to this issue, as opposed to bringing in external resources.

I don't belive there is a way to change the size of the default bullets.

It's kinda weird, isn't it? Normally you can blame browsers for failing to implement certain features, but with this there is no mechanism in place in the actual CSS specification - bit of an oversight!
