Question

I’m having issues with the IE7 list element bugs. The bullets (or numerals) of and are being shown outside of the margin. How do I fix this for IE? From what I’ve read this seems to be a problem when specifying the height/width in an IE7 li. Images can be found here:

Firefox:

IE7:

I have a stylesheet with the Meyer reset.

#create_request li {
    display: list-item;
    width: 313px;
    height: 23px;
    background-color: #E3E3E3;
    list-style: decimal;
    list-style-position: inside;
    padding-left: 25px;
    padding-top: 5px;
}

#create_request li.alternate {
    background-color: white;

}

#create_left li:hover {
    width: 356px;
    background: url('/images/list_add.png') 100% 100% no-repeat;
    background-color: #B0B0B0;
    cursor: pointer;
}

From what I’ve read this seems to be a problem when specifying the height/width in an IE7 li.

That’s correct. Set the width on <ol> instead of the <li> and use line-height instead of height on the <li>.

#create_request ol {
    width: 313px;
}

#create_request li {
    line-height: 23px;
    ...
}
