Kubrick Theme WP 2.1 – No Bullets with IE 6 or 7

The CSS selector of a:before which is used in that theme is not supported by IE.

Okay, Kubrick uses a CSS 2 element which IE and some other browsers don’t support. So roughly 90% of the viewers of a Kubrick themed site see no bullets. That’s the default for WordPress??

How can I get Bullets to these poor folks using IE without hosing up other browsers and the Kubrick code?

Well just decide what bullets you want and code it up. I would add a bg graphic.

Heh. No one ever said the “default” was a really great example of a theme…. quite the contrary, AAMOF….

“So roughly 90% of the viewers of a Kubrick themed site see no bullets.”

Most definitely not 90%, but just because IE is the greatest common denominator shouldn’t mean we use crappy code just to make it happy.

It is the responsibility of the browser itself to make code work,because the only job of the browser is to take text files and make them look pretty. If the browser is deficient it is up to the people that make the browser to make it better; it is not up to the people who make the language.

It is like blaming the company for when your order is lost in the mail when the post office is the one who lost it.

IE doesn’t support the css code used in the stylesheet. Download the stylesheet found within your blog folder/wp-content/themes/default/style.css and edit the list-style: none entry. Replace none with circle or square or whatever style you want your unordered list to be such as:

html>body .entry ul {
margin-left: 0px;
padding: 0 0 0 30px;
list-style: circle;
padding-left: 10px;
text-indent: -10px;
}

Delete the following lines which uses a special character for the bullet

.entry ul li:before, #sidebar ul ul li:before {
content: “0BB 020″;
}

Save and upload the stylesheet to the same folder.
