copied!<p>This <a href="http://sscce.org" rel="noreferrer">SSCCE</a> works fine in all browsers from IE6 and up (IE6/7/8, FF2/3, Safari3, Chrome4, Opera9).</p> <pre><code><!doctype html> <html lang="en"> <head> <title>SO question 2401705</title> </head> <body> <ol> <li>Item 1 <li>Item 2 </ol> </body> </html> </code></pre> <p>It even works when I tried to replace the <code></ol></code> by the syntactically invalid <code><ol></code>. So, your problem lies somewhere else. You really need to elaborate the "Doesn't work" in <em>more detail</em>. What exactly happens? What exactly happens <em>not</em>? Preferably edit your question to include an SSCCE (like above) and try to ask the question the <a href="http://catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html" rel="noreferrer">smart way</a>. </p> <p>Note, in contrary to what others say, a non-closing <code><li></code> is syntactically valid in normal HTML. It's indeed invalid in XHTML, but I don't see any reason to use XHTML unless you're using a component based MVC framework or some other XML based tool to generate HTML pages.</p> <p><strong>Update</strong>: you thus don't see the numbers. Apparently you've set the <code>margin</code> of the <code>ol</code> to zero. This way they will get out of the view. The following SSCCE demonstrates it. It indeed fails in IE6/7.</p> <pre><code><!doctype html> <html lang="en"> <head> <title>SO question 2401705 - IE6/7 problem</title> <style>ol { margin: 0; }</style> </head> <body> <ol> <li>Item 1 <li>Item 2 </ol> </body> </html> </code></pre> <p>Don't set the margin to 0. This may also be caused by a so-called CSS reset sheet. Don't use them, just remember to specify the margins for all block elements yourself.</p>
