No it isn't: <example> 1. A list item (display: list-item) </example> If 'display' is set to 'block', it becomes <example> A list item (no marker glyph) </example> It may be a block, but it is not 'block' (it is stated in the spec that things in quotes refer to property values), so 'block' means display: block, which is mutually exclusive with display: list-item. If it said that the element becomes a block-type element or something similar, this interpretation would be admissible, but at present it is not. ===== ---------------------------------------------------------- From Matthew Brealey (http://members.tripod.co.uk/lawnet (for law)or http://members.tripod.co.uk/lawnet/WEBFRAME.HTM (for CSS)) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
