Left-aligning numbers in ordered lists

Hi,

By default numbers in ordered lists are right aligned, like this...

1. Item
2. Item
....
10. Item
11. Item

Does anyone know how to align them to the left, like this?

1. Item
2. Item
....
10. Item
11. Item

Many thanks,
Tom

So it seems, though this is just common browser behavior; it is not
specified in CSS specifications.
Does anyone know how to align them to the left,
I don't think so. If such rendering is important, you should probably change
the markup from <olto <table>, with two columns (one for the numbers and
one for the item texts). You would naturally have to make the numbers actual
page content, instead of letting browsers generate them. On the positive
side, this approach would let you style the appearance in detail.

Thanks for your suggestion, Jukka. I'd come to the same conclusion!

Hi, I'm curious about the computational complexity of a query I have. The query contains multiple nested self left joins, starting with a simple select, then doing a self left join with the results, then doing a self left join with those results, etc. What puzzles me is that the time required for the query seems to grow exponentially as I add additional left joins, which I didn't expect. I expected the inner select to return about 25...

For increased accessibility, I've replaced "display:none" with the Off-Left method of hiding my CSS drop-down menus because the Jaws screen reader doesn't see any of the menus hidden with "display:none". The Off-Left method (placing elements way over to the left beyond the browser window) seems to work well in everything except IE 6 for the PC, where it displays the drop-downs about an inch to the right of where they should be.

Hi I am trying to write a code snippet that would display a '?' sign on the top left of a control. I do not want to hard code the positioning of the DIV which will contain that '?'.

I have two questions with regards to the LEFT function. I ran into a problem with the LEFT function today. I knew it was a valid Function, but when I tried to use it, it was getting interpreted as the LEFT location of a control or something like that, instead of the LEFT function. (I want to extract the left portion of a string). Anyway, I knew what I needed was to find out what IMPORTS I was missing. After finding a posting on MSDN that...

I have a wpf project where I use a canvas to drag shapes around. when I drag a shape beyond the right or bottom side I get scrollbars which is good. I also get scrollbars when I zoom in and a shape goes beyond the right or bottom side. However, I don't get scrollbars when shapes move beyond the left or top side of the canvas. This is bad. I need the behavior similar to Visio where you can drag an object past the left or top and you will...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
