The bullet image used in the Garland theme while viewing in IE6 is acting oddly. The image only appears if you mouseover the list item. Even then, the image never displays for the first item and in some cases, will not display at all. Before I go delving into the css, I was wondering if anyone had a fix for this. TIA.

I notice this sometime ago. If I remember correctly, it only happen because I modified the Garland Theme. The original one doesn't seem to have this problem. I switch to my own theme so...sorry, no fix. Just want to point out that you are not alone in this.

I'm having the same problem.

Lists with standard markup, ex:
<ul>
<li>item1</li>
<li>item2</li>
</ul>

are acting exactly as described by Nikkol, only bullets on mouse-overs, and never the first item.

I've tested this on a fresh installation of drupal and see the same problem.

(edit) After some searching I found an issue about this problem, hopefully it will be solved soon:

Add the following line at the end of the 'style.css' in your Garland theme:

li {position:relative;}

and all your IE problems (some wishful thinking...) with bulleted lists will be gone.

Great help, thanks:)

Ill add this information to the issue and hopefully someone will add this line to the garland default style.css

I applied the fix above and I noticed an interesting problem with IE6 (I don't have IE7 installed): if you look at a Forum (or whatever) with threaded comments, where the threaded comments uses a bullet list, then IE6 will mess up the placement of the bullets in the threaded reply.

It seems to be okay as long as there isn't a threaded reply using bullet lists.

Strange...
