According to http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/generate.html#counters, a counter-increment can be specified in a :before selector; this does not work. It only works in a element selector without a pseudo-element selector.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Create a setup according to the w3c document, but this with a dl/dt/dd setup; see the URL specified. The first test does not work; the second does.
Actual Results:  
Only the second dl counts properly

Expected Results:  
Expected both dl's to count properly.

Maybe the same as bug 288946?

Bug confirmed.

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; fr; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5

Using Ubuntu 5.10.

I stumbled upon this bug yesterday making a CSS layout which rendered properly in Opera and Konqueror.

This is not a bug related to Windows XP.

Opera has a couple of known bugs with regard to counters. Comment 1 is correct, this bug is a DUPLICATE of that INVALID one.
