Help: Tabs vs. Stylized Bullets vs. IE vs. Firefox

    I am trying to implement a Tab thingy, but those pesky “Stylized” Firefox “>>” bullets seem to be screwing it up. I’ve got it looking reasonable in IE6, but I cannot seem to exorcise those damn bullets from the css to get it looking right in Firefox.

    Please take a look at https://www.eyetelly.com/test-2 in IE, then in Firefox.

    The troublesome part of the css must be somewhere here:


    /* -------------------[ Lists ]-------------------
    Special stylized non-IE bullets
    Do not work in Internet Explorer, which default to normal bullets. */
    html>body .entry ul {
    margin-left: 0px;
    padding: 0 0 0 30px;
    list-style: none;
    padding-left: 10px;
    text-indent: -13px;
    }
    html>body .entry li {
    margin: 2px 0 4px 10px;
    }
    .entry ul li:before {
    content: "0BB 020"; list-style-type: disc;
    }
    .entry ol {
    padding: 0 0 0 35px;
    margin: 0 0 10px 0;
    }
    .entry ol li {
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    }

    What do you think I should change/add to get Firefox to behave “normally”? Thanks.

    The offending bit is this:

    .entry ul li:before {
    content: "0BB 020"; list-style-type: disc;
    }

    Thanks Les. Yes, I removed the :before part and have now lost those dreadful “>>” bullets. Still, the underlying problem persists… bullets showing in FF, but not in IE. Anyway, it’s a css issue I guess, so I’ll hunt around elsewhere for some clues. Thanks again.

    Ahh, I see. Try this:

    .entry ul li{
    list-style-image: none;
    list-style-type: none;
    }

    Thanks again Les. But doing that removes the bullets I have in other articles… I’ll put this one to bed for a while. I need to brush up on my css, and give it another crack at a later date, a rainy day perhaps ??

    I appreciate you having had a look into it for me. Cheers. (I’ll take the test page offline now).
