Why is <LI> badly displayed ?

Hi HTML Experts,

I would appreciate some advice about my problem where numbers are not
being displayed correctly from a series of <LI> tags on this page :-
http://www.databaseanswers.com/satisfied_users.htm

The first 9 are OK, then the first digit looks funny, and then is not
displayed at all when the number gets to 100.

I would welcome any and all suggestions.

Thanks very much.

Before we go further, put in a line with a doctype for the page and
validate it on http://validator.w3.org/

As a start the validator will find about 236 errors, like this as an
example: "Line 104, column 38: there is no attribute 'WIIIIDTH'"

Invalid HTML can give any result, or none. The most obvious think I
see is that you can't start a <li> inside of <b> ... </b>.

The validator at
http://validator.w3.org/check?charse....htm&outline=x


finds 236 errors, though doubtless many of them are repetitions of
the same problem. You need to fix them. Probably when you do, your
problem will disappear. It's a waste of time even to think about why
something displays "wrong" as long as your HTML is not even valid.

I don't get this rendering here. But, given that this is invalid HTML (you
haven't even declared a DOCTYPE) and CSS, you would be well advised to fix
these errors first.

This is a two-part question to which I haven't been able to find an answer anywhere else. 1. Is it possible to format the bullet/number character of the <li>? In my styles sheet, I have the <li> tag formatted, for example, bold. However, when it's applied, the number of the <li> is not bold, but the text is. Do I have to apply the bold to the <ol> instead? 2. When I use <li>example text</li>, and when I insert a <br> after the </li>,...

Hi, Got an unordered list with 100% width, with 5 list items of 20% width styled to fill the width of the container element. Renders fine in Mozilla, but when you change the size of the window in IE, the last item in the list has a nasty tendency to wrap down to the next line (and stay there). I can hack it (imperfectly) by setting the width of the list items to
