Hi,

This error only occurs in Internet Explorer 7 and older.

Have a look at the list on this Webpage in Internet Explorer 7 contra how it looks in Opera or Firefox.

As you can see Internet Explorer pushes the list way off to the left.

Suggestions on how to correct this!? And yes, the list is supposed to render with the bullet points outside the main text area, like you can see on Firefox 2.

Please help.

First, I've told you before that IE does NOT support XHTML 1.1, so what you are getting in IE is quirks mode with all it's vagaries.

Second, you've got a negative 1em margin on the list, so where did you expect it to go ?
If you want the bullets OUTSIDE the list, use the proper CSS to do that:
list-style-position: outside

Did help, but it still needed negative em values to get the bulletts "outside" of the text-block.

The page should not give a XHTML 1.1 document type to browsers that does not support application/xhtml+xml AND application/xml (something IE6 never did and IE7 does, but then it should also support it).

Well, it IS feeding the XHTML 1.1 doctype to IE 6, that's why I made the comment. I looked at the code in IE 6, the 1.1 doctype was there.

IE 7 does not support XHTML 1.1: http://www.webdevout.net/browser_support_summary.php

Well, it should support XHTML 1, right?

And the error still occurs with that doctype (as of right now the site i using XHTML1 only).
