The following list items appear within a <div> and <table>:
<li><a href="default.asp?pageID=info_hoursaddresses_holidayclosures">Holiday
Closures</a></li>
<li><a href="default.asp?pageID=branch_open_directions&amp;branchID=20">Driving
Directions</a></li>
<li><a href="default.asp?pageID=branch_open_directions&amp;branchID=20">Bus
Routes</a></li>

Something about the structure of the table and div are causing the bullets to be
rendered to the left outside of the table.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load the web page

Actual Results:  
Covered in Details section.

Expected Results:  
I expect the bullets to be indented and rendered as they are in the table that
is below the table showing the problem.  I will show this in a jpg attachment.

They dont wrap the <li> elements with <ul> like other parts

Comment 3

Isn't it a bug that the bullets were rendered outside of the containing cell?
I can't see how not having the <ul> tags justifies rendering outside of the cell.

That URL doesn't work at the moment. Got another one that shows the problem?

Comment 5

[Miles Lane]

The website says:

"Due to technical difficulties, The Seattle Public Library's Web site is
temporarily unavailable."  So let's give them a day or two to fix the website.

There you go.  The page is back.  The bullet dots are still rendered outside the
container frame.  

Good luck fixing this.

Comment 7

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

The list has list-style-position:outside, so the rendering is in fact correct. 
Normally the padding on the <ul> would make enough space in the cell for the
bullets, but there is no <ul> in this case.  This is evang, as José said.

Bullet points are now within the tables. Closing.
