I would like to set the "list-style-type" to be a hyphen (-). How can I
accomplish this in a style sheet. I tried list-style-type: hyphen; and
list-style-type: dash; but neither worked. I also tried adding this to
the style sheet (with the list-style-type set to none in the UL
element).
LI:Before
{
content: "- ";
}
If someone has a solution to this please supply the proper syntax. That
may be what my issue is right now. Thanks.

This <http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/generate.html#l ists> lists the possible
values for list-style-type that browsers should support.
Here
<http://msdn.microsoft. com/library/default.asp?url =/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/properties/liststyletype.a sp>
is what IE supports.
The only glyphs according to CSS 2.1 are disc, circle, and square, I
don't think hypen or dash are supported.

That's odd, because style guides usually recommend the use of a dash, which
is rather different visually and corresponds to established typographic
tradition. Anyway, you would have the same problem with a dash, or with any
_character_ for that matter.
How can I accomplish this in a style sheet.
In HTML authoring, the best shot is to use images as list bullets, using an
image that looks sufficiently like the character you want. It's awkward and
inflexible, as you may guess.

list-style-type: dash; but neither worked.
No wonder. You can't just invent CSS constructs as you go.

{

That would be fine, it browsers supported it. Opera does, but otherwise the
situation is poor: browsers usually obey list-style-type: none but ignore
the rule with LI:Before, since they don't support generated content or
associated constructs.

I wonder what you'd have expected list-style-type: hippopotamus; to do.

IE doesn't do :before or :after.

Well, he wrote _twice_ (in prose and in CSS) the ASCII hyphen-minus "-",
commonly known as hyphen, and if he had meant the hyphen bullet U+2043, he
would surely have used \u2043 in CSS.
But I just realized that the hyphen bullet is not mentioned among the
dash-like characters in the Unicode standard, even though the hyphen-minus
is. There's no cross reference in the description of the hyphen bullet in
the code chart.
It seems that the hyphen bullet is really meant to be a bullet character
that looks like a hyphen (of a kind), rather than a hyphen used as a
bullet. Yes, splitting hairs - I've spent too much time with character
standards I'm afraid.

That's why it's called "hyphen bullet".
rather than a hyphen used as a bullet.
Then the name would be "bullet hyphen".
On the other hand, "hyphen-minus" is written with hyphen-minus
is written with hyphen-minus is ... STOP! ... meaning that this
character is equally a hyphen and a minus.

Hi. I found the following when trying to learn if there is such a thing as a
non-breaking hyphen. Apparently Unicode has a ‑ but that is not
well-supported, especially in older browsers. Somebody somewhere said:
Alternately, you can use CSS to declare a class having:
..nowrap { white-space:nowrap }
.... and then wrap the compound word in a <span class=nowrap></span> tag (or
any other suitable inline tag). You can also try {...
