Set List Properties

By Stephen Bucaro

Use the list-style property as a shorthand method to set all three list properties in one declaration. The properties must be in the order: list-style-type, list-style-position, list-style-image. You can leave some of the values out, as long as the rest are in the specified order.

Below is an example of using the shortcut method inline to set the properties for a list.

<ul style="list-style: circle inside url('bullet.gif');">
<li>List item 1</li>
<li>List item 2</li>
<li>List item 3</li>
</ul>

• List item 1
• List item 2
• List item 3
