List Elements—Browser Comparison

Unordered lists look very different across the browsers as you can see. First of all, only Netscape understands and supports the two other TYPE attributes, Square and Disc. IE interprets these identically. As you can also see, the browsers also tend to interpret the spacing on the lists a little differently. Though this only manifests itself in tables when you are using NetObjects Fusion version 4.0, this can be a little bit disconcerting the first time you see it.   As it turns out this has to do with the order of the HTML tags and how the tags close.  Fortunately there is a solution to make all the browsers use the same spacing, though it involves a little tweaking of the HTML code in the tables themselves.

Ordered lists have a better match across the browsers, at least in terms of type interpretation, but as with unordered lists in tables, the spacing is not correct.

So how can we get the spacing in Netscape 3 and IE to behave itself? Click on the Line Spacing link for the solution.
