766020 - Inline-block element within ol causes all li numbers inside to be zero

Status: NEW

(Core :: Layout: Block and Inline, defect)

Description

[J. "巧" Burton]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:14.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/14.0
Build ID: 20120605113340

Steps to reproduce:

I was programming a javascript-powered quiz for my site. The design of the page required the previous button, a list containing questions, and the next button to be all in the same row, with the quiz container and question list both at widths set by their contents. That meant the question list (an ordered list) had to be display: inline-block.

I tried making a simple test page with just an <ol> tag with a <div style="display: inline-block"> around its list items, and I was able to see the exact same effect.

Test page: http://jsfiddle.net/7qvW5/


Actual results:

All the list items inside the inline-block div were marked "0." in place of their proper numbers. This did not happen when the inline-block div was outside the list, and CSS generated-content counters are not affected by this (as you can see if you go to the test page).


Expected results:

The numbers in the list should have proceeded in a normal 1-2-3 fashion, just as they would have inside a <div style="display: block">.

Whoops, that's a version of the test page from before I fixed my CSS error. This bug does NOT screw up counters; that was me. =_=

Please go to http://jsfiddle.net/7qvW5/11/ instead!

Yep, we only propagate HTML list numbering through block kids.  It's not implemented in terms of CSS counters at the moment.
