build: 3/7/99 - 3/10/99 platform: win95, win98, winNT, mac, linux expected results: when value attribute set to a numeric value, the list item marker should be rendered as a numeric value what I got: the list item marker rendered as bullets steps to reproduce: here is the code <dir> <li VALUE=10>directory list using the LI value attribute, list item marker value set to 10</li> <li VALUE=20>list item marker value set to 20</li> <li VALUE=30>list item marker value set to 30</li> </dir>

this is also broken when using the MENU element

DIR and MENU are unordered lists; therefore there default "type" is disc which means the "value" parameter will be ignored. Try it in navigator to see it work the same as in nglayout.

a valid attribute for the LI element is value, LI is a child of MENU and DIR, regardless as to how previous version display this. Setting the value attribute should owrk the same across the parent elements. Reopening bug

The bug report is still wrong Wrong WRONG. The only time the value attribute applies is when the type of the list-item is a numeric or counting value or if the container is an ordered list or has its type forced to be a numeric or counting value. Since *NEITHER* is true in this case (MENU and DIR are unordered), its an invalid bug report. Meerly setting VALUE is not enough. Set TYPE as well to see it work (e.g. bug #3597 shows examples of counting elements inside a DIR - TYPE is set for each LI allowing them to count).

well I still disagree with ya but, since you do the development - you win. Since DIR & MENU do not have a type attribute associated with them, they can't have the type value changed, so it would be just a bit hard to that. closing the bug
