Bullet symbol is not dislayed in Home page

kumargks

HI All,

I am using one editor for stored the description data along with some special characters(ex:Bullet symbol). this data are stored sucessfully in database (mysql) i checked.

the format as per following : <ul><li>string1</li><li>string2</li><li>string3</li> </ul>.

But in Frontend (Home page) the Bullet symbol is not dislayed.

i copy the source code and save as one seperate html file.This HTML file showing Bullet Symbol.

But Home page.php file not showing Bullet symbol.

i put the echo stmt for description variable $content. this variable also not displayed the bullet symbol. Ex : $content= stripslashes($row[3]);

i don't know the reason.. what is the problem..

Kindly advice to solve this issue.

Many thanks

Did you check your CSS to ensure there is no rule such as:

ul {list-style-type: none;}

(or something along those lines)?

Thanks for u r response.
in our application 2 css file are using:

ul style as following:

ul{
list-style:none;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
li{
padding: 0 0 7px 0;
}

ol, ul {
list-style: none;
}

Above two two css lines what i update? Kindly Advice

Many thanks

Well, you would need to remove the 'list-style:none;' part from ul so that you can see the bullets show up in, otherwise, that CSS rule is meant to disable bullet display.

In your css, there is some redundancy.. you have list-style:none; listed twice.. one for ul, the other for ol, ul.. I think I would restructure them as such:

ol, ul{
list-style:none;
}

ul{
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
li{
padding: 0 0 7px 0;
}

At this point, it should still have bullets hidden, but your CSS would not have any redundancies.. So from here, if you want your ul to display bullets, you can simply remove the ul from list-style: none; like this:

ol{
list-style: none;
}

But this would mean that every ul will display bullets.. Is that what you want?

Thanks for u r replay.

I tried u r code for my apps .But still not displayed Bullet symbol.

I thought this is some other pbm.Because

i get the data (description) from the database,i stored one variable.

Ex:$content= stripslashes($row[3]); -- (This variable stored the description data)

i put the echo stmt on this variable ex: echo $content --- But the echo stmt also display only characters ,not displaying special character (Bullet symbol)..

Kindly Advice

Thanks🙂

So you changed your CSS to:

ol{
list-style:none;
}

ul{
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
li{
padding: 0 0 7px 0;
}

And your ul li in your document still do not display bullets? Are you sure there are no other CSS that hides bullets? This is the only thing I can think of.
