This is something I have always found frustrating. When I create a block (or even standard node content) with the following code:
<ul list-style-type:none> <li>Title</li> <li>Created</li> <li># Comments</li> </ul>
I still get the little white discs, which I think are graphics.
If I use display:inline, it stays as a list with white discs. If I use background-image:none, it stays as a list with white discs. If I use list-style-image:none, it stays as a list with white discs.
I was under the impression that inline CSS took precedence over linked or embedded CSS so why is the default Garland CSS seemingly an immovable object?
Hi,
First time I write, great work drupal colaborators.
Hi Neil,
<ul list-style-type:none>
The matter is the syntax:
<ul style="list-style-type:none">
... in case you want to make it work from the html, but I think it's better if you do it from the css file.
<li>Title</li> <li>Created</li> <li># Comments</li>
</ul>
Cheers, ________________________________

Sorry, that was me being slapdash in the original mail. The html of the block is simply:
<ul style="list-style-type:none;background-image:none;"> <li>Apples</li> <li>Bananas</li> <li>Pears</li> </ul>
and the white bullet-points are still there. Even if I change it to list-style-type:square, they remain the ever-present white discs.
Infuriating. :-|

Should get rid of them for you, but as Marco mentioned you really want to be doing this from your CSS file instead of having a bunch of inline styles everywhere.

that didn't work either. I even tried:
<ul style="background-image:none;list-style-type:none;"> <li style="background-image:none;list-style-type:none;">Apples</li> <li style="background-image:none;list-style-type:none;">Bananas</li> <li style="background-image:none;list-style-type:none;">Pears</li> </ul>
and the white graphical discs remain steadfastly. I don't intend to use this to style but it's almost become a challenge by now. Drupal seems to be ignoring the basic standards of cascading styles and I have seen this is other places. Ho hum....

I've just run a test here and using an inline background-image:none; on the <li>'s in a custom block does work. Have you tried using Firebug[1] or the Web Developer[2] Firefox extensions to check what other rules are being applied to your elements?

if you copy this to a lone html file it works perfectly. so the problem is the order of loading of the css files and the cascade weight of what you have put into the html as the old-fashioned "style" attribute of the html tag.
this goes in and is overridden somewhere by a statement in the theme's css styling.
perhaps some Garland buff can tell us where; have you tried putting the appropriate css statements in style.css (if it is customized, does it need to go into the appropriate ./file/color... directory???);

could be, but Garland also cache's away customized color selections (and the style.css) in a subdirectory in the files directory. don't know how that works, since I don't usually customize garland much

I just truncated menu_cache and this is still loading:

and the white graphical discs remain steadfastly.
Not considering the inline/cacheing problem that seems to have been solved elsewhere, I needed ID specifiers to get this to work:
#header #nav-primary li { list-style-type: none; background-image: none; }
This is probably because the existing Garland CSS statement
ul li, ul.menu li, .item-list ul li, li.leaf { background: transparent url(images/menu-leaf.gif) no-repeat scroll 1px 0.35em; /* ... */ }
typically has two tag specifiers and a classname specifier, so you need either 2+ classnames or an ID to beat that.
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/cascade.html#specificity should help, although it doesn't make any explicit statement on the super-specificity of inline styles that I can see.
Cheers, J-P
try applying styles to <li>
ul li { list-style: none; }
also, you should handle that in your theme's style.css, in order to separate the graphic design from the data. that way, if one day you want to have a graphic artist work with you, they won't have to go poring through php code.
