Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: English US, defect)

Description

[Tom Parker]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050510 Firefox/1.0+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050510 Firefox/1.0+

An <li> tag without an enclosing <li> or <ul> gets shifted leftwards. See for
example http://www.jroller.com/page/fate/20050419#my_tackle_is_lighter_than.
Note that the example page is marked as HTML 4.01 Transitional (and page info
says it's in Standards Compliance Mode), but this makes it not actually valid.
Gecko shouldn't shift the <li> items left, and in the example page they should
be on the right hand side of the dashed line.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Goto http://www.jroller.com/page/fate/20050419#my_tackle_is_lighter_than
2. Look at the list starting "It's simple"
Actual Results:  
The list is shifted to the left of the dashed line

Expected Results:  
It should be on the right hand side

the default position for the bullets is "outside".  See:
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/generate.html#propdef-list-style-position

When the <li>'s parent is <ul>, Mozilla makes its position "inherit".  In quirks
mode, Mozilla forces them to be inside:
